I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zara (Singapura) 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

What experience do you have as a visual merchandiser?
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Zara (Cerritos, CA) in Jul 2018
Interview
I applied for a visual merchandiser position at the location in Cerritos. I was so excited when they called me for an interview. I arranged everything to be there on time since I am still working. I got there a bit before my interview started, I went to the cashier and asked her if she could call a manager that I was there for an interview. She called them, and told me to wait. I waited and waited until 45 minutes after that the manager came out of the office he then walked me towards the entrance of the men’s department and said we can start here. He asked me “ tell me a little bit about yourself?” I processed, told him I really liked merchandising. That’s when he said the position he was calling me about was for sales. I was not interested in I told him. He then said that to be hired for a visual was very unusual, that they hire with in. I was so disappointed, literally a waist of my time. I was getting offered a lower position, lower hours, and a lower pay.
