Called by a woman who asked about holidays, start day and availabilities
Then organised a time and day to be interviewed in person
Met with HR representative and store manager who asked questions about the role.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zara (Singapur) in Jan 2019
Interview
Very unprofessional interview.
Given wrong location for interview and did not apologise for mistake. They were surprised that i did not work in the fashion industry so obviously they did not do their homework on who they are interviewing. They spoke among themselves in their native language during the interview. They asked little to irrelevant questions and giving subtle judgemental look towards you. Maybe I’m not fashion enough for them. One of the interviewer had a sour face throughout the interview. Interview ended in less than 10 minutes. Waited for them at a wrong given location 30mins longer than the interview.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zara (Bloomington, MN) in Mar 2018
Interview
My interview was done through FaceTime. The Regional Visual Manager for the kid's department was the interviewer. I had worked for Zara for 7 months as a sales associate before applying for the visual merchandiser position.
