Interview Details The manager interviewing us wore Uggs, leggings, and a red pullover sweater. WTF. It was a group interview. First we were told to find a partner and tell about ourselves, Then tell about that person to the managers.
Interview Question – None of the questions were difficult. What was difficult was trying to say something that hadn't all ready been said by someone else. Answer Question

Interview Details I was called over the phone to meet the manager that I had gotten the interview! I met her and we went to the food court where she sat me down, my resume at-hand.
Interview Question –
1. Use three words to describe Forever XXI.
2. If you were to hypothetically get the job, what would be your go-to outfit for the first day? Why?
3. In what ways do you keep yourself up-to-date with fashion?
4. Why do you want to work here? (Duh)
5. How did you handle a stressful situation in your last employment?
6. If some of the other employees [at previous employment] weren't as motivated as you, what would you do to deter from following their path?

Interview Details Went to a job fair and filled out an availability sheet while waiting in line outside of an empty room. I waited in line for around 30 minutes before I had been called in for my interview, keep in mind that I had gotten there early and there was only around 4 girls ahead of me. My interview was 3 on 1, I sat at a table while 3 women asked me around 5 questions, one woman doing most of the talking. She asked me if I was in school or working, asked about past work experience, if I have any experience with cash, why I want to work at forever 21 and gave me a scenario. Overall, the interview process was easy, quick, and the women were fairly nice. They said that they will be calling candidates for a second interview this coming Monday.

Interview Details The were having a job fair at a hotel, so when you show up you had to fill out an application. It was for a new location so they were hiring for all positions. Once you finished filling out the application, you got seated at a large table with 2 managers for a group interview. Asked about four questions: why forever21, what does customer service mean, sell an article of clothing you are wearing, and obviously just tell a little about yourself. The managers were really kind and showed interest!
Interview Question – All the questions were fairly easy, I reviewed a couple of questions online before going in so that I would be prepared. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Got a call the next morning, and then orientation was a week after. Key is be super upbeat and happy!

Interview Details Went to an Open Interview Setup, there was a long line up and they were interviewing people at about 6 people per interviewer. When it was my turn, we were all asked what we knew about the company, why we wanted to work there, if we knew all the sub-brands of f21 and also did some role playing. I got a phone call from LA the next week.

Interview Details We were told to sit on the benches outside the store. There were over six of us. They'd ask us a question and we'd each get a turn to answer. They told us that they were hiring over twenty of us and didn't say if we were seasonal or not.. Managers were really friendly. 3 out of the i think six interviewed us. I got a call i think two days later?
