The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Forever 21 (Santa Monica, CA) in Aug 2009
Interview
I came in on the day of an open interviews. The Santa Monica location is the biggest next to the Flagship. I interviewed with an assistant manager and he asked me some pretty basic interview questions. I know that you should try and make the interview more like a conversation. The assistant managers are mostly pretty young and fun so it won't be very intimidating, but make sure you are respectful and not too comfortable.
My second interview was a group interview. We were asked to share some things about ourselves, and were given some history on the company. We were given scenarios as well.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What do you say to a customer who is undecided on an item?
It was an in-person interview. It was very easy, and a standard retail interview. lasted around 10 minutes. The manager asked some scenario questions but overall, the questions were pretty straightforward.
It was a casual group interview. I sat down with a manager and another girl who was applying. They just asked a few standard questions about us and our experience.
Interviewer did not seem very experienced. He was rushing the interview and only asked general questions such as where do you see yourself in 10 years… for an entry level job.
