Interview questions [1]
Question 1
bring an item that best represents you, be prepared to talk about it.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Urban Outfitters (London, England)
Interview
Applied online, heard back after a week. Wasn’t aware it was a group interview but read reviews that it might be. Was taken to a cramped back room with 4 others. First, they wanted us to introduce ourselves then took us to the shop floor to complete a fictional scenario, to look for items for 2 girls shopping for a present for their father. Asked us why we chose these items one by one as well as a few others. Honestly, I think they look for personality, whether you’re confident, loud and outspoken rather than your actual experience. Was an alright interview, just a bit unfair if you’re naturally quieter.
