hi Caroline, i was offered the job 8 days ago and have yet to be told when my induction is, they told me they had to work out rotas etc and 11 other people would be starting with me so it could a week or two. they only asked me 4 questions - 1. have you ever worked I a customer facing/customer service role? I told them I had worked in a cafe before so I had experience. 2. did you have any goals to aspire to in these jobs? - I said yes as in my previous job we had to provide "service with a smile" so had to always treat the customer with respect etc. after this question he then put a yes on the front of my application 3. they then asked what hours I could work and I said evenings and weekends, he then put a circle around the yes on my application and said that's what I like to hear! 4. what did I think of the group selection interview? I said I enjoyed it and thought it was fun. - the interview was very informal and was basically to tell me I had got the job. good luck with your interview! Less

"What is your favorite movie?" ... What, exactly, does that have to do with my job??
2 Answers↳
I'd love to know the answer to THAT.
↳
an answer I would like to see as a hiring manager in retail would express varied interests. in MY interview I'd probably say something along the lines of"it depends on the genre. If I were to choose say drama or scifi..The new Planet of the Apes movies are in my top 5. I'm really impressed that the updates to the film managed to stay true to the franchise yet provide enough "new flash" to appeal to a whole new crowd of movie goers." I would liken it to seeing the advantages of an updated version of a product. even if the updates are small things, the details matter. whether it be sleeker lines or added features (Or like a film that's now on Blu-Ray..I mean have you seen nightmare before christmas on Blu-ray?! I have both versions lol) Less

role play with the interviewer- i did and it instantly got me the job because it shows you're comfortable with selling, even if you're not. "Hey! Welcome to Vera Bradley! How are you doing today?" *let them answer* Is there anything we can help you find?" if they say no, still continue to let them know about the store deals & promotions you all have going on. If there's a certain product they're looking for and you don't carry it, show them the next best thing Less
