I applied for a seasonal Store Associate role and was invited to a group interview. Many of the questions focused on personality and fashion sense. There was a bit of a wait to be interviewed because of the large number of walk-in applicants, but the manager was very pleasant.

Behavioral Group

We were sat in a group of three and given general personality questions. Name a time we did something for someone etc. Because it was a group interview for the same role we all felt like we had to say something better than the person who went before us which all made us uncomfortable.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • How do you keep up with current events or trends?
  • Can you tell me about your personal style?

Group Presentation

We all had to pick out an outfit, then swap with the person next to us. Then we had to sell the outfit we got. It was kind of weird doing a group interview like that.

  • How would you approach selling these clothes?
