Sales Associate (Seasonal) I applied online and the process took 6 days - interviewed at Urban Outfitters in September 2013.

Page 16: 25 sept: COMPANION GUIDE TO WORKING IN DOWNTOWN PHOENIX

Interview Details –i applied on the website and received the standard “impressive application" email requesting an interview. I chose the closer of the two dates described on the email and showed up at 12:40 for my 1:00 interview. I was told to wait outside the store at the couches. i soon noticed two other sharply dressed individuals that i was correct in assuming that they were also there for the interview, we waited together for about ten past years and then the interview began, it was simple quick, and nearly effortless, my advice is to read what is said on this website it honestly helps with the interview process. After the first interview a second manager came out and asked some questions about scheduling. I then signed a release for a background check and then went on my way. As i got home i checked my email and there was the ethics survey link in my email. It was straightforward and there was no objective choice, read it but don’t take forever. I completed the survey/interview on Thursday and then received a phone call from the manager offering me a position. =============================================================

Applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Urban Outfitters in September 2013. Interview Details –I applied online to a new store opening in my area. A couple of weeks later, I received an interview stating that they were holding essentially walk-in interviews at a local hotel, in a window of a few hours. I went there dressed in Urban Oufitters apparel (greyish shorts and a coral button-down with some knock-off Tom's) and interviewed one-on-one (it probably would have been a group interview, but no other candidates were there at the time) with one of the ladies who was there. Some of the questions were:

• Tell of a time you had good customer service. • Who or what is your inspiration? • Tell a few things about yourself or how would you describe yourself?

A week or two later, I got a call saying that I was hired. As it was a new store opening, they really needed workers to help out, therefore I don't quite know if I was actually successful at the interview or if they just hired me for the muscle. Interview Question –What would you do if you noticed a customer acting suspicious, as if they were about to steal? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 17: 25 sept: COMPANION GUIDE TO WORKING IN DOWNTOWN PHOENIX

Sales Associate Interview I applied online and the process took 1+ week - interviewed at Urban Outfitters in September 2013. Interview Details –I applied via their website online. About two+ weeks later, I got an email requesting an interview in their store. It was a group interview with 7 other people; they said they were looking for 3 or 4 people to hire, 5 tops. We were taken into the stock room and interviewed by one of the managers and another lead staff member. The questions were pretty basic even for someone like me who has never worked or interviewed for a retail store. Examples: why Urban, what is your dream job, what is loss prevention/how to deal with it, when have you gone against what a supervisor has told you to do, what trends do you see, if we gave you $100 what would you buy, describe the last group work experience you had, etc. Really casual and laid back, too. You didn't have to answer any of the questions if you didn't have a great answer for it; I think I answered all but one. After the interview, they told us they'd let us know about another interview in about two days, but when I got home I received an email for a second interview and also the online questionnaire. The questionnaire is really not as difficult as some reviewers are making it out to be. Just remember you are applying to work at a famous retail corporation and showing up to work high every day would not be acceptable. Lots of questions about fairness in the workspace and drug use. Other than that it's really common sense. My second interview was a 1-on-1 with the manager. Also very casual, asked similar questions but more personal about who I am as a person and what I am looking for in a workplace and fellow employees. I could tell that they were already really interested in hiring me, showing how important it is to just be yourself in the first interview and definitely show your interest in fashion and specifically that you have the UO "look." After this interview I waited about 4 or 5 days and got a call in the evening offering me the job. I accepted over another job offer. Interview Question –What is something that most people don't know about you and that we can't figure out from your application or an online search? Negotiation Details –No negotiations as I had no retail experience. Offered a little over minimum wage in my state.

Sales Associate Interview - Scottsdale, AZ I applied in-person and the process took 1 week - interviewed at Urban Outfitters in August 2013.

Page 18: 25 sept: COMPANION GUIDE TO WORKING IN DOWNTOWN PHOENIX

Interview Details –My interview experience with Urban was relatively simple. After filling out an application while visiting the store one day, I received a call the next day to come in for an interview. The interview was in group format with a total of 10 possible hires and 2 interviewers. The interview was very casual and consisted of the interviewers getting a real feel of who you are and if you'll fit in with the look and attitude of the company. They definitely prefer people that are interesting and have something going on with their lives. After the interview, I was called the evening of that same day and offered a position. I was one of only three people to be hired in that group. Interview Question –Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales Associate I applied in-person and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Urban Outfitters in August 2013. Interview Details –I was recruited to work for Urban in the fall of 2011. For such a basic retail job, I cannot imagine a more competitive experience. It all begins with a group interview. Dress to impress and moreover, dress the way you describe in your application. When I walked in, the manager noted that she recognized me based on my application description/ fashion inspiration. (Also, if you put something lame on your app like "I draw fashion inspiration from me" you're going to get an eye-roll and no one will take you seriously) The group interview begins and you are asked questions as a group; meaning you either have to speak up first or be prepared to give an answer that stands apart from the rest. Beware of repeating answers, even if you feel the same way. They are interested in two things: Number one, someone who really really values customer service, but not in a generic way. Secondly, Urban wants individuals who are passionate and above all authentic. (A.K.A. Cool and knowledgeable.) Once you pass the dreaded group interview, they weed out the dummies through an oddly worded personality test. It's unlike those standard I

Page 19: 25 sept: COMPANION GUIDE TO WORKING IN DOWNTOWN PHOENIX

agree/disagree tests, they are long-winded questions meant to test both your ethics and your reading ability. READ THEM CAREFULLY. I can't tell you how many smart people fail because they try to rush through it. If you make it past the personality test there will be a personal phone interview with the store manager, followed by an in-person interview where they will evaluate you further. Consider the fact that they don't want another suck-up, they want someone who can be cool and friendly at the same time. Interview Question –What is something you did in a past job that went against company standards? ==============================================

long time and that gives you STABILITY! C. They are young here in the valley but, already, have a rep for promoting from
