I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zara (Toronto, ON) in May 2014
Interview
In-store interview, asked a few questions, must provide 2 paid references from previous work experience. Research a lot about Zara and how it operates. Stock is replenished on a biweekly basis, items move fast and are replaced by new ones. Know about its competitors. Know about what the position entails and what your function would be within the company. As long as you do your research you will be OK!
I turned in my application, was asked to come for an interview next day, I was asked about what i would do in certain situations, in regards to customer service and loss prevention. After that I had a second interview with the general manager, she asked me why i wanted to work there and how i could help the company. I was hired the next day.
