I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Tillys in Mar 2010
Interview
I was able to get an interview by walking in and requesting an application. Once I returned the completed application it did not take more than a couple of days to receive a call back from the store manager to schedule an interview. I had one interview with the store manager right outside the store and she offered me the position of cashier which was one step above the position of sales associate I had originally applied for. I was offered a little more than what they normally offer as starting pay because of my prior experience. I was asked pretty standard interviewing questions but it seemed like they were concentrating more on how I answered the reliability questions such as punctuality and availability. There was also a background check.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you feel that you learn from visual merchandising shifts?
It was held as a group interview, fairly easy. The hardest part was the sales pitch for an item in the store. Everyone in the group answered the same questions one at a time. There were around 6-8 people in each group.
Super calm and friendly! Felt like such a nice conversation and felt like I was part of the team already, they really listened to me. I felt like they wanted me to succeed and I did!

Question 1
If an item isn’t selling, how would you ensure it did?
Occurred in a group setting. I always recommend being very respectful, do not speak over others, but when you can add after another interviewees turn, try to include your own response.
