My friend worked at Hollister Co. for awhile and she said that they usually do interviews in groups. Also, they like it when you support their brand – so if you have any clothes with the Hollister logo, wear them to your interview!
Hey guys i have worked in both positions that this company has to offer and let me tell you first off that it is awesome! The key to getting a job here is to look good and sound smart, make sure you know some background about the company and so on, KNOW the definition of diversity!!! and since the way they interview people in groups, STAND OUT! The more naturally good looking you are the better, also i should note if your over 26 its is almost guaranteed that you wont get hired, 99% of the employees are either in high school or going for their AA’s still. And i would also like to point out that Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Gilley Hicks are all the same company and all interview exactly the same way, so same rules applu to all! Good Luck!
Deff know the definition of diversity..Be outgoing and friendly. Know about the brand and why you love it. Be as natural as you can be at the interview, no heavy make up, fake nails, etc…Just be you!!!
if you want a job at hollister simply wear there brand to the interview and look completly natural. despite what others have said i’ve seen plently of “bigger” woman working in the stores so give it a shot. they’ll ask you about diversity and what makes you diffirenet from the others wanting to work there. just be yourself. there looking a lot at your personality. you can not be shy only an indervisual. do expect to earn only £6<$6 an hour and only a few shifts. working in hollister my not be as amazzing as made out, but then again working for such a popular brand most deffently has it's up's
Hey. Nicole, no there’s no height requirement but you have to be 16 to work there. Apply after your bithday
And for anyone who works at Hollister; how long do they take to call back after an interview? My interviewer said they’d call withing 2 weeks but how long do they actually take normally?
Thanks :’)
Hi, there’s no height requirement to work at Hollister. In most places you have to be 17 to work there and 18 to work at A&F. I would ask someone in the store closest to where you live because the laws may be different for your area. It’s a good idea to wear the brand because it shows that you are loyal to the store. Of course Hollister and Gilly Hicks are branched from A&F, so if you wore Abercrombie it would still show brand loyalty. Working at Hollister will not turn you anorexic. Models are actually the people who stand in the front of the store and greet, fold clothes, cashier etc. The actual models in the pictures are selected from modeling agencies. There aren’t very many requirments, although being a stote manager requires a bachelors degree. They also have people who work in the back of the store who handle shipments so if you’re self concious about applying to be a ‘model’ you could always do that. The interviews are typically done in a group. They will always ask you about diversity. Know the definition and know what kind of impact it has on a workplace. Also know what Hollister represents. It’s not smart to dye your hair an unnatural color. If you can tell you have brown hair and you dye it bleach blond or red, you will probably not get hired. Look up a lot of their ads, go to their website and see how the models look and that’s the look you want to go for. Hope this helps you guys! Good luck!
so if you have lower than a 3.0 on GPA will they hire you?

January 3rd, 2011 at 4:38 pmcompanies are required to hire very diverse people, so the size race or age will vary. however, it is best if you fit into the age group they sell to.

February 23rd, 2011 at 6:59 pmCan you be 16 to work there?
February 27th, 2011 at 7:45 pmWhat type of questions do they ask you?
February 27th, 2011 at 7:46 pmWhat Does It Take To Get This Job
March 6th, 2011 at 9:38 pmI’m turning 16 in October, can i apply in October?
April 21st, 2011 at 8:18 pmThe manager at the hollister in my hometown wears a size 18 pant, so size isn’t a huge deal. They do look for people that look good naturally, so when you go into the interview it’s best to wear as little make up as possible. As long as you’re not totally ugly, represent their brand, and have a good personality, you should have a good chance of getting hired
July 9th, 2011 at 2:42 pmU need to e 17 to work there and 18 for A&F. And the u get hired as a model. So if u don’t have natural good looks or a good figure they don’t have to hire you just based on that. Although I work there I do find it kinda messed up.
August 22nd, 2011 at 1:56 amHey, Does anyone know how long do they take to call back after an interview?
March 7th, 2012 at 6:42 amthank u
I want to know what are the requirements to work here.
September 27th, 2011 at 2:11 pmI had a interview at hollister on sep.27(tues.) I felt that I did my best but it has been five days and I still haven’t gotten a call back…
October 3rd, 2011 at 2:01 ami am turning 16 in november, could i go for a interview now or am i better waiting untill i am 16?
August 18th, 2011 at 2:17 pmI’ve been getting recruited to work at Hollister and Gilly Hicks since i was 15. you have to be 18 to work at Gilly Hicks and 17 to work at Hollister. I am 17 now and I finally gave in and am going to my first interview on tuesday. I am naturally not the skinniest person in the world, although i am in the best shape of my life because i run track year round. i am a size 7 pant at hollister and medium shirt, (which i seem to think is very healthy) they still recruite me everytime i am in the store so i dont think size is as big of an issue as some make it out to be. i am also african american with a deep skin tone, so i also dont think they only go for caucasin girls/guys. so dont short change yourself by what you see in the store
September 25th, 2011 at 10:54 amsome of these comments were very helpful. i have my interview for Hollister tomorrow at 4pm and im very excited. ive been to a interview at Abercrombie & Fitch so i kinda already know what to expect. also they dont discriminate against race , age , gender , etc. so dont sike yourself out, everyone should apply to at least get a chance to experience a group interview setting.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:34 pmI am a 15 year old caucasian blond haired chick who loves Hollister Co. Its my dream job to work there!!! Hollister is basically the ONLY brand I buy and wear. People tell me (and I agree) I should be a model for them. But I have only one issue…Im scared that they will make me anorexic. And if that happened they wouldnt be hiring me theyd be hiring some fake chick…and thats a problem. I will deff apply but if i have to be anorexic, i can kiss my dream good-bye…
That would be very sad!!!!
December 26th, 2011 at 8:55 pmI had an interview with Hollister recently (on Friday), and there were 4 other people being interviewed with me. It’s NOT true that you have to look good, but it would be best to wear the brand. Be outgoing, friendly, and most of all, BE YOURSELF! Don’t be nervous, relax. Know what diversity is, and why you want to work there!
December 20th, 2011 at 6:54 pmi went to hollsiter a week ago and the store manager aproached me herself and asked me to consider working there. im not too sure bc its 45 minutes away…i definitely have diversity going on for me, and i wasnt even wearing their clothes! and you dont have to be skinny..just fit. i do year around track and heavy lifting and im a size 8 in jeans and a small – medium in shirts. you can be curvy but not too curvy is my guess
January 5th, 2012 at 3:14 pmDo you HAVE to wear the brand or can you wear a plain t-shirt and jeans?
January 5th, 2012 at 8:44 pmDo they drug test for entry-level jobs at Hollister Co.?
January 9th, 2012 at 12:55 amHi I’m 15 and I’m turning 16 in April 2012 .. I’m just wondering if I’m allowed to apply for a job for Hollister.Co . Itss my dream to work there but I’m afraid that they will not hire me .. is there any height required to work at Hollister Co.??
