I applied in-person. I interviewed at Forever 21 (Cleveland, OH) in May 2015
Interview
I had a group interview with a total of 7 interviewees as well as the hiring manager and two other managers. It wasn't intimidating at all because they were very friendly. They each asked us a series of questions and each of got an equal chance of answering it wasn't like we had to speak over one another.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you and your best friend were shoplifting and you got caught because she ran away, would you tell on her or take the blame?
It was an in-person interview. It was very easy, and a standard retail interview. lasted around 10 minutes. The manager asked some scenario questions but overall, the questions were pretty straightforward.
It was a casual group interview. I sat down with a manager and another girl who was applying. They just asked a few standard questions about us and our experience.
Interviewer did not seem very experienced. He was rushing the interview and only asked general questions such as where do you see yourself in 10 years… for an entry level job.
