I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Dillard's (Houston, TX) in Feb 2015
Interview
They called me to schedule an interview whenever I was free and when I got there, I had to wait for an available manager. The first manager I talked to was a Department one and asked me about my life, how did I come to apply to dillards, etc. Then she asked me to sell her on any object in the office. It was pretty relaxed but also straightforward. After that interview, the Store manager scheduled a one-on-one interview with him and he asked the same questions and asked what my long-term goals were. Then he negotiated pay and offered me the position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you were faced with a tough situation at work or in life and how did you resolve it?
Standard interview, quite short (20 minutes) for the first round. Asked about past experience, sales skills, expected pay, and my future goals at the company. Interviewers were very nice and welcoming, made the experience much less intimidating!
Not sure what to expect. When I spoke to the manager it felt very condescending and off putting. The interview was fine but they exaggerated the amount of commission associates can make and didn’t even give me a chance to agree to a job offer just assumed that I would take it. I don’t have very high hopes about how it will be working there. When I came in for my interview one associate didn’t even greet me like she did the last customer and the energy of the atmosphere just felt super dull and soulless. I need this job on my resume as a fashion business student for internships so I’ll push through but not at all optimistic about the work environment.
Easy, few job related questions. schedual flexability. Shifts avilabiltys, days and holidays avilabilitys. Your job rolle, expectation, traning, education, refrences. Work history and reson for chosing the store. It is a simple easy procces,more like meet and greet.
