I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Coach (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2009
Interview
You are invited to a group interview with about 5 other candidates. The Hiring Manager asks a question and then each candidate takes turn answering them. I found the interview to be quite easy-going and the questions were simple. I received a call 2 days later and accepted the offer. Remember to focus on customer service and how you are able to develop relationships with customers. The employees are all very friendly and fun to work with. As a new employee, you tend to get the least convenient hours, but that will change once you have worked there longer. After your yearly performance review, you can ask your Manager for a raise.

Question 1
Name a time you learned something new and how did that go?
It was pretty relaxed, two interviewers, mostly spoke about my CV and Customer Service. Why I want to join the company and why luxury retail? I am still waiting to hear back from them. Had my interview last last week.

Question 1
How would you influence a customer to make a purchase
Pretty straight forward and nothing too intense. Great energy from the team as long as you are competent yet competitive.
It was a 2 step process for me after the phone call and they brought me in immediately.
