Great interview process. The management is incredible light hearted and funny. I would defintely reccommend interviewing for this locatioomn. Hot topic is so cool and fun i had a blas doing my intertviews it was amazing
Easy. Called in and interviewed in group setting. Manager was very kind and asked generic questions about who we were as individuals. Straight forward interview process. Why does this box need a 30 word minimum?
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Hot Topic (Fort Wayne, IN) in Oct 2025
