Team Leader
okay, first interview was at a job fair one on one with a team leader. general questions about my experience and what fashion and leadership meant to me. he saw that i had management experience and stated that that was the qualification for team lead but it wasn't lengthy enough for a departmental manager. i was applying for team lead position with the hope of moving up in the company. the interviewer was really nice and i felt good about the interview. got a call the weekend of for a second interview that was a group interview in their stock room that looked like a dungeon...many flights of steps down. group interview went well and i felt i was able to stand out. i was told i would be contacted in a weeks time. a week later, got a link in my email for the personality test. completed it, and a week later got an interview with the head visual merchandiser and the store manager. actually i got there early and they were 30 minutes late to interview me. apparently they were waiting for me down at the dungeon...while maybe they should've come up or called upstairs to ask if i had arrived. the manager working told me earlier that he had notified them. there was clearly a communication and time management problem that i found unprofessional. i finally got the interview and made it clear i was applying for team lead....we spoke about my previous sales, management and retail experience . i did feel though that they were not assessing my experience but rather my look, and how i answered the questions, they didn't seem to be paying much attention. anyways got a call three days later with a job offer.
- Talk to me about loss prevention.
- How do you feel you would fit in with a diverse large group of individuals?
Team Leader
I sent in my resume and cover letter, finished an ethics survey, and then got a call back for a one-on-one with the store manager. It was pretty easy, honestly, maybe the hardest part was figuring out what to wear since it was super casual. The store manager was really nice and focused on making sure everyone worked well together and built a "community spirit" in the store. I heard back about a week after the interview.
