Interview Procedures
Versatile clothing retailer Nautica institutes a very basic interview process for most entry-level jobs. Job seekers of various backgrounds may qualify for interviews after submitting required employment forms and materials. Most stores conduct one-on-one meetings between applicants and managers as part of the interview process.
Research the Company
Potential employees should conduct some brief research on the clothing company, investigating areas such as products, services, and styles of clothing offered in stores. Additionally, applicants should look presentable during the interview process. Attend the interview neatly groomed and well-dressed. Wearing apparel from Nautica, while not entirely necessary, may show some familiarity with the brand. Candidates may observe current employees to find out popular dress before interviews.
Inside the Interview
Nautica job interviews remain relatively brief, lasting between 15 and 30 minutes depending on how well the applicant keeps the conversation flowing. Most applicants face fairly generic retail interview questions, such as: "Why do you want to work here?", "How well can you multitask with several customers?", and "What would you do if you saw a coworker stealing merchandise?" Most interview questions are meant to see how well candidates would perform in a fast-paced work environment featuring constant interaction with customers. On a personal level, interviewers often want to know about a candidate's character traits, attitude, work ethic, and dependability. The range of interview questions hiring managers ask requires strong improvisation skills and professionalism.
