I’ve been working at Victoria’s Secret for 1 year and in the group interview process, which was the only interview or anything that I had before I was hired, there were 4 of us total. The hiring manager asked us questions that were normal interview questions. She posed many questions like “If a customer did this…then what would you do?” And whenever she asked questions I was almost always the first one to answer
***If they ask you at the end of your interview “Do you have any other questions?”, ask them what the process was like for them to be manager or ask them how long it took them to be manager. The goal is to get them talking about themselves since everyone loves talking about themselves and it makes you seem interested in growing with the company and sticking with it.
Don’t wear jeans at all, just wear black and maybe 10% white like an undershirt, definitely be on your best behavior and look professional. Don’t wear uggs either, my managers don’t like it when people dress less than professional, but you could still look cute. Oh and make sure your available to work 2 of the 3 peak days (friday, saturday, and sunday) or else you probably won’t get hired.
I have an interview for Cash Wrap Lead Manager tomorrow so hopefully I do well! Good luck with everyone else and their interviews!
Codie,
For your interview, make sure you dress casually. It will help if you wear black since all Victoria’s Secret employees must wear black on the job. Answer all questions honestly, be yourself and tell the person interviewing you the most positive qualities of your personality. In the end, if they think you are a good fit for their team, they will hire you and not worry about the fact that you have no previous work experience. Go ahead and give it a try. Let me know if you get hired.
I worked there for a few years. Look cute and stylish for the interview (don’t overdo it though). VS looks for polished, put-together girls, but it’s okay if you have a bit of an edge. They want personable, sharp, friendly girls who can work hard and relate to the customers. Be CALM and try to connect with the interviewer. The first interview will be a group one (mine was with like 10 other girls) so find a way to stand out without being obnoxious. Really it’s all about proving your love of the product and the customers. Don’t be fake. Honestly, bring your own unique personality and you should be fine. Just make sure that you are ready to start immediately, because if they like you they will have you on the floor within a few days.
This is a great first job, but be ready to WORK. This job can involve a lot of late nights and all of that time on your feet, sometimes dealing with very difficult customers, can be difficult. It can be a very stressful job.
They ask why are you interested in working with victoria’s secret, how would you get a customer to come back, and what do you have to offer?
I had a group interview they asked us 4 question everyone had to answer and it was pretty easy at the end of the interview we were told that to give it about a week to hear from them within 3 days i got a call back and got the job! Good luck and just as a heads up wearing all black to the interview is a big plus and smile
I recently got hired.
My interview was with 4 other girls and the manager was a guy. He asked us questions and I remember the very first question was “Why do you want to work here?” The answer process was just whoever wants to answer can answer. The manager was super nice and the group that I was with was funny!
What did I dress to the interview? I wore a white collar long sleve shirt with buttons with a black pencil skirt. I have of course, black leggings with some “2-3 heels. My make-up was a natural look, try not to add crazy eye shadows or bright lip sticks. My hair was straight. But if you have natural curly hair it fine, too.
My suggestion? Be yourself. The manager will you time to answer the questions. So just say what you think the answer going to be.
Don’t be disappointed if you don’t get the done. There are plenty of opportunities out there!
Good luck to everyone who applies
I passed the first interview (group interview) last Friday. It was not hard. They staff supervisor is a GUY, yes, so guys, you can definitely go and apply for a job there! But not a sales associate
Cashier or some overnight support member’s position opens to MALE~
The group interview just had questions like, what are the three word you would choose to describe yourself. It won’t be hard, so don’t worry~
And please hope I can pass the second interview this Thursday and get the job!
I applied for Victoria’s Secret 2 weeks ago, was called back for an interview a week later, and hired 3 days after the group interview. They interviewed about 6 of us girls and I was sooo nervous. It went awesome, & it was obvious some of us were more comfortable because half of us answered the questions and the others just sat there.
You MOST DEFINATELY want to stand out so they remember you & can see you as a potential employee so DO NOT wear flip flops, jeans (especiall distressed), tank tops, or even short skirts and shorts. This shows a lack of professionalism and turns the hiring managers off. I wore all black and a black top, answered all questions confidently with poise, and always always smile. Victoria’s Secret is hardly ever hiring so at this location I went above and beyond and I got it! You won’t regret being top notch during your interview!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU GIRLS!
what do they ask, how to pass at an interview for hiring
May 25th, 2010 at 4:49 pmBe able to start immediately, because Victoria’s Secret doesn’t like to wait for you to give your two week notice. If they need you, they will need you right away. And, yes, my name is Victoria, funny, huh?

August 18th, 2010 at 7:17 pmThere is no minimum age requirement, but my guess is that it helps to be older.
August 18th, 2010 at 9:50 pmwhat about a guy tho? will they hire a guy?

im applying to vs. what kind of answers would u say when they ash u the interview questions?
January 8th, 2011 at 2:06 pmI am nervous about the application process but, I am confident that if I take some of you ladies and jents advice that it would be a breeze.
Just do it and be honest I think you all would have a chance you only got one shot to make a great first impression to the Boss. so keep it locked and have faith in what you do.
