Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at POP MART (Melbourne)
Interview
The first Zoom interview took 30 minutes, and the second in-person interview took 3 hours. However, there was no result, and even there was NO response to the follow-up email.
The interviewer asked questions repeatedly and seemed to follow a question list. That's why it took sooooo long.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
team management, visual mechanism, stock management, loss prevention, customer service, and scheduling.
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter for an initial interview. The conversation went well, and I was told on the spot that I would move forward to a second interview the following week. However, communication after that was extremely unorganized. I didn’t receive a calendar invite until 11 p.m. the night before the interview, despite following up earlier days.
The next morning, my second interviewer joined late, seemed unprepared, and didn’t appear to know who I was. The interaction felt rushed and disinterested, which left a poor impression. I never received any follow-up or feedback afterward.
Two months later, I randomly got an email from the same recruiter offering me a completely different position — one I had never applied for. I reached out for clarification and never heard back again.
What made this more disappointing is that I met or exceeded every qualification listed for their original posting (including an MBA, multilingual skills, and over three years of high-volume retail management experience). The entire process felt careless and unprofessional.
Overall, communication was poor, the process disorganized, and even their benefits didn’t seem competitive. Based on my experience, I would not recommend applying.
they interviewed me at the coffee shop near their store, asked me about my previous experiences as a sales lead at other companies, also my expectations on the salary, I didn't get the position in the end
