I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Forever 21 (Mission Viejo, CA) in Jan 2013
Interview
Well first they have a group interview and stand outside of the store and the manager asks everyone to introduce themselves and why should we hire you and what do you know about retail and how can you contribute to our company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Well since I'm a guy they asked me how can you contribute since you may not know much about girl clothing.
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.
