I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Swarovski (Kings Store, IN)
Interview
Online cv submission, and received a phone call very quickly after.
Interview with the store manager on competency based questions; "Can you describe a time etc etc".
Unusual in that they required more examples than normally asked for, two for each situational question.
Manager let slip during her explanation of the benefits that her store supervisor was preparing for his new assistant manager role...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe a two occasions where you had to prepare a task to a deadline that you did not expect to hit?
It seems like the person interviewing me has no experience in hiring processes. Asked me two pre-written company questions which I replied on. The person not directly but thrown a shade on their current manager which seemed off. Every time I shared something from my experience they seemed jealous of it correcting me straight away that this is what they're doing in their role so it wouldn't be part of my role.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Swarovski (Sydney) in Apr 2025
Interview
Applied online. Was contacted for an interview by email rather quickly. Interview was just 10mins. A lot of questions started with "Tell me about a time when..." There were around 10 questions including availability confirming that I was looking for full-time as ASM is required to be.
4 days later I received a rejection email from the store manager. I emailed back asking for feedback and she basically told me the main reason I wasn't selected is because I didn't have retail experience. But that I came across as really professional.
