I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (New York, NY)
Interview
Received an email from a recruiter asking for my interview availability. Another recruiter I had met a job fair had sent her my resume. I reponded immediately and did not hear back. I sent several follow up emails and still nothing. Finally two weeks later I contacted the other recruiter and just explained the situation and wanted to make sure that she was receiving my emails. Almost immediately after sending this email I got a response from the other recruiter regarding the interview. We set up a time. She was very nice. Very casual interview. I was told I would hear by the beginning of the week and I never did. Finally after sending another follow up she responded days later saying they were moving forward with another candidate.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Columbus, OH) in Nov 2019
Interview
3 x 45 minute meetings with a Merchant, Senior Merchant and HR Merchandising rep. Each person had different questions and needs for what they would expect of an assistant merchant.
