Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did you respond to a problem that arose in teamwork
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel in Sep 2025
Interview
I arrived 10 mins early and they had me wait on one of their couches on the sales floor. The department lead met me where I was seated and we held the interview there. The first question she asked was for me to tell her about myself and then we continued with more questions. Most of the questions were about giving examples. It felt really natural and more so like a conversation. She seemed to like me and said I will have to have a 2nd interview with the store manager.

Tell me a time you had a positive experience with successfully executing something.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel (Costa Mesa, CA) in Jul 2025
Interview
They called me, set up the interview. I showed up, 5 minutes early. The manager had forgotten about our interview. He sent me to interview with a different manager, and they asked me many questions and explained the role. The role seemed much different than it had in the description online.
