Smart casual but don't wear runners. You should go on to their website, take a look at the style of clothes they do for guys because theyll want you to have a similar style.

maybe something like that0 -

Just came back from the forever 21 interview and it was the oddest thing I have ever attended it must be said! The interview consisted of what I would assume to be the two Irish directors of the company congregating the twenty or so candidates into a room together and grilling them with questions as a party. We were told to take the day as an “X Factor audition” Very strange tactic’s as I found that the people in the back of the room could neither hear nor answer the questions being directed to the class and as a result did not get through to what they call the “next round”.
What I also found strange is that most of the retail managers didn’t seem to get through to the “next round” either. How bizarre! It seems like such a crazy effort to go through for a job where the candidate will have little responsibility and will be on a minimum wage salary??
Eeeeep I didn’t even have an audition like that for the 30k office based job I’m in at the moment. Madness :rolleyes:0 -

Forever 21 don't pay minimum wage, and while you may consider the job to entail "little responsibility", imo it's kinda rude to say so. Many people do start off high-flying careers as sales advisors and tbh, a shop would not function without a good sales team and therefore, I wouldn't ever think of a job like this to be so menial.
I think it's great that they go to effort to hire their staff. They know what they're looking for and what they want.
Anyway, this thread isn't really the place to discuss this.0 -

Well done Donna that’s great that you got through!
Didn’t mean to sound it to be rude guy’s,
it would be my first time in retail if I went through but from what I was aware of (and from what friends told me) girl’s in retail get paid quite little, but that’s great that they are giving you guy’s a little extra! Especially after such a long interview 
Will defiantly be popping in there to make a purchase or two... Or three 0 -

How much is the pay? I forgot to ask haha
Also did only 3 people from your group really get it? like 9 or 10 from mine did
Yep! And by the sounds of it they don't have all of the staff, because one of the managers who interviewed me was saying how the induction day and store opening will depend on a few things, one was if they get all of the staff! Only 7 of us out of the group made it to round 2 and 3 of us got to round 3! It's 10.50 an hour and you get a 10% staff discount, I didn't want to ask because I was afraid it'd seem cheeky but she told me all about it at the end
store opening is sometime in November but they don't have a 100% set date yet because the managers are all flying to LA to do their training (lucky!)
they want us to give customers the same experience that you get in forever 21 in the states0 -

omg 10.50? thats sooo good! 10% is a bit of a crap discount but oh well lol!
I think the sales consultants should get a flight out to LA too haha. Did you get part time or full time? I'm wondering what this induction day will involve since its still in the Morrison and not in a store...?
Also I know they've kept a few people on hold so maybe they'll call them back if they havent fill up the places.0 -

yeah 10% isn't much but hopefully the clothes will be the same price as in the states and it'll work out good I went for full time. When she said I got the job she was like "congrats, you want to work part time yeah?" and i said nooo full time and she was delighted she said most people applied for part time!
They'll probably be looking for temps soon enough for Xmas too! Busy busy0 -

Awwww that's nice that yawl are getting €10.50, feel like I should of made more of an effort to answer the questions now. The thing is that I left the office and took and early lunch to come to the interview and when the woman said that it would be an "audition day" I was just thinking "oh crap" :eek: because I said i'd be back in an hour or so lmao!
I'd say the 10% will go a long way though, forever 21 are like H&M prices 0 -
yea i got it dona:) and congrats to you 2 blink heads working together, its going to be a beast :P
such a weird and funny story, i was nervous yea but it was a laugh. i didnt like the way it was layed out , i felt like the front row got a better chance to answer a few questions as they could here a answer the questions and be heard , the people in the back (me:P) couldnt really hear the girl etc but was great crack , i introduced me self im karl blah blah im a pisces :P they main people up the front started laughing etc but people didnt really get that were sitting down cept for 2 :P then after i said i was a singer song writer etc she asked could we get a song and i was emmm ok then i sang a really high pitched song like fogle from superbad hahahahah it was a laugh,i got through anyway.the second i really liked , every body got into their pairs and there were girls in a all these groups of 3 and then there was me and this guy thye who barely spoke ,really quiet , and so out time came and i had already picked out the outfit while the first group where up doing their thing, but while i was explained what i thought was nice etc for our given title , he just stugged his head and said yea ok and barely gave an input , so it came to the actual presentation and it was kinda nerve wrecking because there are girl watching your outfit that know what to wear etc haha and they seemed to like it , i was matching a studed whit low cut top,with a chain and studs on each shoulder , with black studded ankle high boots with other and things and a clutch bag "thats nice and small ye know , fits under you arm if your out , nice and small ye knw does the job , bobs your tea pot" hhahaha wats was i thinking haha
after we finished our outfit and as we just sat down a blonde came and asked me a thye to come on to the second stage,i was like what ??really how come the people before wasnt asked over straight away i asked myself!!as i was sitten by the door 3 were standing there talking and said to me we didnt expect you's to know what you were talking about so well , because two lads picking out a girls outfit etc
anyway as i was walking into the nterview to my table there was my old manger from river island louise haha and she stud up basically screamed hi haha that was so cool because i havent seen her in ages ( she gorgus) :P any way went through all the answers that i practised etc and my tasks etc and she understood the examples of having to i- ball rails in a store and and change stock on mannequins at busy times etc .i wasnt being cocky and saying aw its my old manager i have the job but i still gave it my best and said all my answers i studyied etc ,she was surprised at some answers and said we havent heard that sort of answer yet etc ,so i got the job any gave louise a hug and she gave me her mobile number if i have a problem ?? didnt know how to take it :P and i walked out past the main english girl with the short hair really sad with my head down and she looked at me like ahhh what basically and den i ran back in and started laughing and said see ye on the 27th gave her a high five ran out the door and then. . . . .fell up the stairs hahahahahahahaha ****ing shoes
i really enjoyed yesterday anyway.what really enoyed me was in the first stage ,this sap beside was repeating my points right i finished "ye ye make sure they know your there " i was snapin!!!!
some people were way to casual compared to what i was wearing ,i felt like a bit of sap being to dressed etc but sure they said to me they noticed it when i walked in so thumbs up , and they wernt surprised when i said i liked jude laws fashion sense :P

I felt the same about my outfit! Everyone was wearing cardigans and hoodies and I was wearing a grey blazer! I Went all out with my accessories too, think I had 6 or rings, necklace, studded clutch bag, bracelets, pearl hair clips, etc. And most of the other girls only had a necklace and 1 or 2 rings, i felt so overdressed but I guess they liked it I suppose it shows we take the job seriously but we also have a sense of style! 0 -

oh and i was talking to louise and we just chatting about something and then something came up and she said when a store is hopefully going to open in london you could get a transfer and work over there as a level 2 etc thats good there are so many job and career opportunities in fashion retail
i applied for sales advisor and stock room , but i was put down for visual merchandiser aswell , didnt have a choice ,she said i dont know why you didnt apply for vm in the first place cause i did dress maneguins alot with her when she was vm in river hopefully i get that over everything , it would be so cool0 -

Thats what I was wondering! I think maybe because my auditions where the last of the day they just let them have a go Cuz I did remember, the list yer one had. You know where she had your names printed down on the sheet and she had to sign you in ye? I remember seeing like written names under the printed ones... 0 -

Ooh lucky, VM is my dream job. The manager who interviewed me (short blonde hair) said most of us will be doing VM before the store opens because there's a lot to be done..hopefully they'll like what they see and maybe I'll get promoted eventually hehe.
Yeah I took my piercings out.. Couldn't get them out and I was freaking out so I went to snakebite at like 2.45 and the dudes in there took them out for me and everyone in the whole studio wished me good luck and said "you'll have no problem getting the job!" I love those guys!
can't wait to start! Wish it was 27 oct now haha0 -
