I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Hot Topic (Newark, DE)
Interview
I was initially hired as a keyholder so I only had to interview with my district manager since my store manager recommended me. She was very laid back and asked me about past managerial experiences and how I would react to employees not working.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hot Topic (Jeffersonville, OH)
Interview
I had two interviews being that I was going for management position. First was with a manager and then I had an interview with the DM! It was fun and very calm. They asked very simple questions and then normal and then talked about pop culture and movies and music. Something you would expect from HT
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Hot Topic (Baltimore, MD) in Sep 2014
Interview
The interview was geared toward leadership oriented questions. The interviewer was extremely friendly and personable, and the interview felt more conversational than most. Overall a good experience, and I love working for the company now!
