Tips for a group job interview? (I have a job interview at victoria's secret for sales associate)?
-
I've heard that usually victoria's secret does group interview and especially right now because they're hiring 20 people. I have NEVER been in a group interview so I want to get some tips. I know that I have to stand out and answer as many questions as I can, but how does that work I mean what if the other girl speaks at the same time as me what should I do? And are we suppose to remain quit when the other person is done answering or can we say something like, "Yes I definitely agree with what you just said"

Answer:
First of don't be cocky. Show a nice even tempered attitude. Try and show a good balance between caring that the customer is your focus, and a good profit margin. At the end you need to realize that any business is there to make money, and it does this with a balance between great customer service, and the focus on what can make the company money. Don't look like just another employee. Make them see you want to make it to the leadership positions quick. Say things like... I'm always willing to learn the different areas, and duties of the store. Don't just agree with another persons statement. They may have said something really stupid, and you may not catch it in the nervousness of the situation. Dress conservative, and not slutty.

Below are group interview experiences and questions shared by people who interviewed at Victoria's Secret for Sales Associate. Good Luck! Sales Associate at Victoria's Secret Stores-Received and Accepted Offer I interviewed with 5 other girls. I was the only one who wore all black, just like the VS employees. We went to one of the stock rooms in the store and were told to create name tags by an associate. It was nerve racking at first, but soon we all striked up a good conversation. The category manager was so nice and asked many questions like, "What would an employer say if they could describe you in 3 words?", "What would you do if there was a line of people at the cash register?". The questions were easy and it was free for anyone to jump in. I felt extremely confident, because some of the girls didn't have any retail experience (I have never worked in retail).. After the interview only myself and another girl shock hands with the manager. I walked back to give her my resume, even though I already submitted one with my application (It never hurts to show you really want it!). The manager said they would be calling in a few days. Definitely go in there and be confident! Speak clearly and be loud! Interview Questions What would you do if you saw a co-worker stealing?,What is a negative experience you had in customer service?,What is your favorite VS product?,What attracts you when you first walk into a store? Stock at Victoria's Secret Stores=Received and Accepted Offer This was my first official interview I have ever attended. It's always good to walk-in and ask for an application because it shows you are determined. Make sure you fill out your application to the best of your ability and be honest. Yes you may want to impress them but you will definitely go a long way with honesty. Another thing is that they always want a person who has an open availability. I was told in the interview that the person calling usually explains to the interviewee more about the position. it would be VERY HELPFUL to do as much research as you can. This site especially helped me with the questions they may ask. glassdoor.com For myself, I interacted with the other interviewee (which is something you should do because you may be working with them). It is always good to smile and don't forget to give a firm handshake to show that you mean business. There was suppose to be one more interviewee (because i took a little peak at the list the manager had of people that was suppose to attend) but it was only down to one other person and I. The other person that got interviewed with me dressed mostly in black attire while I went for a white formal top and a pastel skirt with black flats. I don't think it's a must to wear all black but it does show that you know about Victoria's Secret and they may be impressed. Either way, don't think that you HAVE to wear all black to the interview. Just dress formal. Personally, I thought I would not get the job because in my mind I did my best but at the same time it was obvious that I was nervous during the interview and to me that seemed very unprofessional. At the end of the interview you are asked if you have any questions. Definitely ask questions. I read somewhere that it's good to ask questions about whoever is interviewing you because they love to talk about themselves. Ask them (if they are a manager) What were the process of you becoming a manger? Something of that sort! All in all, I was definitely myself for this interview and the very next day I was called to come in the following day to basically do training for my part. (to be continued) =) Interview Questions Tell me about yourself?,How would you feel if the brand of clothing you wanted was out of stock?,Why would you be a good addition to the Victoria's Secret team? How do you feel about a project when it's disorganized? Sales Associate at Victoria's Secret Stores-Received and Accepted Offer After I turned in my application I was given an interview the following day. The interview was a group interview and there were 6 of us who were lead to a room and sat around a table with the interviewer sitting across from us. I only had one interview with them, which was the group interview, and it was very organized and it went very smoothly. The interviewer was very friendly, the staff who I talked to briefly before the interview were also very nice, and the overall environment was fun and energetic! Interview Questions Why would you be a good addition to the Victoria's Secret team? What was a favorite and least favorite thing about a past job?,Take something out of your purse or use something you are wearing and sell it to me.?, What is your favorite store and what attracts you to it?,What is the difference between serving and selling?
