Talk about retail experience, they hire anyone.

Yes

For me this question was tough because my path was still unclear and nothing really lead me into the retail business in the first place.

I wanted to work there because the environment was very unique, I could be working outside rather than trapped in an office all of the time and I obviously wanted a job. I think that they were looking for a really textbook answer but I was honest. It was appealing but I also truly needed a job.`

I found this to be a difficult question because I wasn't sure if it was a leading into an existing problem or manager. I was a little uncomfortable because I knew that it could go 50/50%, either I am too needy working for a micromanager or I am too independent working for an absent manager who offers not support.
