Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The manager asked a scenario-based question about handling potential theft, such as noticing a customer taking an item into the fitting room and placing it into their bag. She asked how I would respond and whether I would feel confident approaching or engaging the customer in that situation
The interview went very smoothly. I was asked straightforward questions about myself and how I would handle difficult customers, which gave me the chance to share my approach to staying calm, listening carefully, and finding solutions that keep the customer satisfied. The manager was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience feel relaxed and positive. I appreciated how the conversation focused not only on my skills but also on how I would fit into the team. Overall, it felt less like a test and more like a genuine discussion about how I could contribute, which left me feeling confident and motivated about the opportunity
