Telephone Interview Face to Face with Area VM Manager 2nd Face to Face with Area VM and Store Manager Telephone interview was vague to say the least, the guy sounded like he had little idea of what to ask, I was expecting more questions regarding my personality, strengths, successes but was very basic. Face to Face interview was pretty much the same, for other VM positions I applied for they asked more about you as a person, what your values are, what your strengths are but none of these types of questions were asked. Practical exercise was to create an outfit but in the middle of the afternoon in the busiest time in the store with little knowledge of the product and limited new pieces out was very difficult, I was expecting an area where the interview could take place and if practical during the day when open probably isn’t the best time to do this. Even a SWOT analysis would have been a better idea. Interview questions were very basic and when I asked questions regarding the role, salary, benefits etc I was told this would be given to me if I was successful. However in any other interview this information is normally given as you are trying to make the candidate feel like they will benefit from working for you?! All in all I ended up telling them I didn’t want the position as it didn’t seem like a company that really valued their employees. An interview is supposed to be exciting but I left feeling like I’d wasted my time.
