I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zara (Vancouver, BC) in Sep 2016
Interview
Summary:
I applied in person with confidence. Was asked to come back in for an interview the next day. The interview was very casual. The questions were still pretty serious, but it didn't feel like an interrogation at all.
Details:
The female manager took me outside the store and had me sit down with her on a bench side by side. She went through my cover letter/resume and the application I wrote out.
We talked for a bit and I was asked fairly basic interview questions. Got a call 15 minutes later on my way home and she told me I got the job.
Great interview process, but it all varies on who the manager is/which store you're applying to.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-Tell me about yourself
-What is your one weakness?
-What do you know about Zara and it's history?
-You have a chance to sell yourself. Why should we hire you?
lengthy and tedious, i don't see that a fashion sense is a requirement to gain employment. was ghosted as far as follow-up communication. did not ask many questions about past retail experience

Question 1
if a customer was having trouble finding something right infront their face how would i respond
super casual, just stand in front of a store,
it does not show the exact job title on job posting
like, job posting mentioned that hiring the full time sales, they actually hire the 2 months contract sales and part time
Visited the store and inquired about hiring opportunities. I was connected with the hiring manager and completed a straightforward in-person interview. The process was professional, welcoming, and provided insight into the role.
