Interview

I applied online for a position and had a phone screen with a woman from HR. The position I was applying for was a lateral level job to my previous position which I had held for two years. She said I was not qualified for the position I had applied for and I would have to come in at a lower level if I were to be hired. I politely explained that I would not be interested in applying for a job that pays less and is a level below the position I had previously had as that would be a step backward in my career. I was also informed that in order to move forward in the interview process, I would need to complete a 2-3 HOUR personality test. I asked if the questions were multiple choice or fill in answer, and she said she did not know. She told me this kind of test was very common, and many companies do this. I said I was currently interviewing with many companies in NYC and around the East Coast and not a single one had ever asked me to take a personality test. I have worked in this industry for 11 years and have never heard of a retailer asking Buyer/Planner level candidates to fill out an online personality test just to get an in person interview and I was astonished that a company with struggling sales would require that of their candidates. I ended up getting a very good offer at a company of equal prestige and accepted that job. A few weeks later once the link with instructions for the personality test was sent to me, I was very happy to politely decline.

Interview

I received about 5 interviews and i was very determined on what i was looking for yet, they kept calling me in for interviews that went against what i had specified was not to my interest. I was looking for full-time and they kept calling me for part-time positions as well as i was looking for a ser pay rate yet, they would call me for commision based positions.... It was a waste of energy, time and gas as i lived quite far from the lication of the job.

The interview went well but I never heard from the company even though they said I would no matter what the answer was. I had friends interview that had the same experience. The interview didn't take long at all. About 10 minutes at the most. I spent more time waiting on my interview to start then in the actual interview.

Interview

It was quick and straightforward. It's somewhat a process; I had 2 interviews the first interview was a phone interview he asks me scenario questions like what would you do if this happens, asked about how did I handle certain situations in my previous jobs like tell me about a time when x did this and how did you handle it. I passed the phone interview and got offered a 2nd interview which was the computer assessment and in person interview. The computer assessment is pretty easy it was like role play as if you were working there and answering calls. Make your listen because it goes fast and they time you, answer the calls and type in peoples information name, phone number, and address. Help the person figure out there issue, they will give a b c d options to choose from like what you do? a b c or d and choose. After I was done with the assessment I had the person interview and she asked me basic questions. And she hires me on the spot which was nice.

Interview

I applied online at the store website and a week later I received an e-mail wanting to schedule an interview with me. I couldn't attend the interview on the date that they assigned me. (They only gave me one date with several time slots and the date was 4 days after I received the e-mail. I waited for another week to see if they have a different time slots and I finally got to schedule an interview with them) I arrived at the HR and waited for a little bit until the HR manager called me. She asked me basic questions related to the resume I submit online, nothing difficult. Then she asked me if I could stay and talk to the handbag manager in a little bit. I stayed and got another interview with the handbag manager whom asked me a couple of scenario questions and customer service related questions. Again, nothing difficult. Both interviews took about 20 minutes each.
