It was very comfortable and almost informal, there was one other person interviewing with me - a group interview of sorts. The store manager and an associate manager were interviewing and we all were sitting in a circle. They asked us both questions and sometimes would ask one question for one of us or they would ask the same question to us both. They wanted to know what kind of experience we had and if we were able to conduct ourselves socially, and feel comfortable talking to customers. One major point they made in our discussion was how we would handle a stressful and difficult situation, such as a distressed or angered customer. The only negative part of the experience was the not knowing an answer immediately, and actually taking several weeks before I got one. Happily it was yes, but I felt it took more time than was necessary to get back to the candidates in letting them know their status.

Question 1
If a customer was angry about something, whether it be the product or the service they received, how would you handle such a situation in a way that would not violate the rules for treating customers and yet still provide a solution.
really pushy on timeframes, hiring manager at the time was a bit passive in emails stating if i didnt reply the jb would be lost and they kept reaching out, felt a bit aggressive.
It was pretty relaxed, two interviewers, mostly spoke about my CV and Customer Service. Why I want to join the company and why luxury retail? I am still waiting to hear back from them. Had my interview last last week.

How would you influence a customer to make a purchase
Pretty straight forward and nothing too intense. Great energy from the team as long as you are competent yet competitive.
It was a 2 step process for me after the phone call and they brought me in immediately.
