sorry i didn't realize you quoted me

the interview went well. i was interviewed for the metrotown location.

they asked me a lot of different questions. they basically had 3 pages of questions to ask you; i think it was background questions, customer service questions and behavior questions. my interview took 1 hour.

it was questions like, "describe your style," "name one thing you didn't like on your last job," "how do you keep up with trends in fashion," "how will you prevent theft in the store," "why do you want to work at aritzia," "what brands do you know from aritzia," "what does customer service mean to you," "when did you go out of your way for a customer," "how will you adapt to the environment of aritzia," "how do you handle a hard to deal customer." imo, it will come in handy if you have retail experience because a lot of questions i asked were based on my last job.

that's all i really remember, but one question that really stumped me was when she asked me to sell her water. luckily, i thought about it and she said she was sold :)

also, they also require you to work at different locations each month. they're called "floater" shifts. when you train, you are also required to go to different locations like park royal and richmond each training shift.

i hope all that information helped :)
