Abercrombie & Fitch Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details First a group info session where we were given info and asked basic questions like what we like to do on our spare time, what languages we know etc.. Very informal. The second interview was also very informal, and the questions were mainly competency based. Both interviews were like conversations and the people there were really friendly

Interview Details it was very casual, they asked a few simple questions to get to know me better such "use one word to describe your personality". it was very relaxing, just a little pretentious as i heard from the scout that found me that they really just hire depending on your looks.

Reason for Declining – the pay was not good enough and i heard their working conditions were poor.

Interview Details Recruiters visit some of the top universities to speak to candidates or applications can just be made online. After that, a resume is submitted and the subsequent rounds involved a mix of online and face-to-face interviews leading up to a final interview/visit to the Columbus headquarters

Interview Details A very easy and normal GD session, with main focus on diversity and "tell me something about yourself."
Based on this I got a call within 7 days to join.

Negotiation Details – no room for negotiation. Since it was a zero hour contract.

Interview Details I've done the first two interviews for an MIT position. Both have been very casual, I turned up wearing little makeup, A&F clothes, and a huge smile. The first interview was very quick; it was meant to be a group interview but the other applicant didn't show. Consisted mostly of telling me about the role, asking a few basic questions like 'what do you do for fun' and taking a photograph. Second interview was more detailed, asked lots of situational questions like 'describe a situation where you've had to work with people from different backgrounds' and 'have you ever had lots of tasks to complete within a limited time? if so, how did you prioritise?' etc. I'm waiting to do my third interview tomorrow so fingers crossed!

Interview Details They do interviews once a week, or so. You have to come prepared. No make-up, or very natural make up. Do not wear black color, and you have to know that they dont sell black color, dress casual, the style they sell there, you will have to pose for pictures. find interview exaples on youtube, as they will ask specific questions.

Negotiation Details – no negotiations, very flexible hours

Interview Details Took place in London Head office, had a group interview with the hiring manager, was pretty straight forward, asked a few behavioral questions

Second (1 on 1) interview took place in the Head office again, all behavioral questions.

Reason for Declining – Looking for more challenging job

Interview Details Generally, models/cashiers are 'scouted' by A&F employees, based on whether or not you have 'the look'. Once you get your calling card, you will be asked to come in for a group interview. The process begins with registration at a touchscreen computer system. You must give your basic information and also your availability (which will become more and more flexible the longer you work there, and the better you get to know everyone). Generally, everyone is super friendly, despite the fact that it's quite daunting to walk into a building where the majority of people are above-averagely attractive, and you yourself will be based on your charm and looks. However, it is a relaxed atmosphere, and the interviewer does make the process almost like a camp introduction day. Everyone sits in a circle (potential impacts, models, cashiers, etc. are all interviewed together and are then sorted into their various positions after the interview) and begins by introducing themselves in a few short sentences. You will be asked how you would deal with customers in certain situations, examples of how/why your personality is right for A&F, and you will have to give examples from your own personal life. For example, how have you asserted yourself in a certain situation, or how well do you integrate into new environments. There is a short break and the process then resumes. All in all (depending on the number of people), the process doesn't take more than 1-2 hours. At the end, your headshot is snapped.

If you get the job, you will be called in for a training day, which takes up about half a working day (there is an hour break). Along with the other newbies, you will watch videos about the brand, its policies (eg. on theft), customer interaction, store allocation, etc.. etc. Very basic and again, everyone is very nice. You'll also get your employee cards at this point, as well as your respective uniform (depending on your job) and a store tour as well as a practice round at whatever it is you have been assigned (e.g. cashiers practice at a till). You must learn how to interact with customers, use the walkie-talkie, how to handle returns, and the like.

Negotiation Details – There is no negotiation phase for this particular job.

Interview Details I booked my interview date on line @ gilly hicks website, there i required to fill all the personal details, credentials, previous and current experience, capacity of work and lastly work availability. on the completion i get a Unique ID number and date of interview, i saved this in my mobile and went to the interview on the assigned date.
On the day of interview when i reached there a manager has screened the ID numbers and took us for a group/panel interview, there they asked few questions as per the job description and in the end they informed about the policy of Gilly Hicks, job description, pay rate and HR policies later on they took a photograph for their record.

After few days ago i received a confirmation call from Gilly Hicks and they invited me for the orientation along with all the original documents for paper work.
