Getting a job at Topshop?!?!

Hey girl, the same thing happened to me a few years ago. I wasn't even asked about experience but when I handed in my CV the girl just glared at me as if to say 'why are you even bothering'... However a few days later the manager invited me to the interview. WELL i have to be honest and tell you although this was a learning curve, it was the WORST experience of my whole life!! There was around 30 applicants in the store for the interview and we were all put into groups of around 5, I was the youngest person out of everyone and was surrounded by fashion students, fashion graduates, and people who had previously worked in fashion and retail. I was 16 and had no experience so as you can imagine i felt SO awkward, every single person made me feel so uncomfortable when doing the group tasks, i was practically ignored half the time and when we presented our ideas to the other 25 candidates and the current store employees i could literally hear girls sniggering and looking at me as if to say 'just be quiet'.

It is such a bitchy environment so if you get called for an interview I hope you have a lot of confidence, by all means do not let me put you off, as you may actually have a great time! However my experience was AWFUL and i feel that the current employees literally went out of their way to make me look and feel stupid. Now i look back on it i just laugh, who do they honestly think they are lol? They're SALES ASSISTANTS, not managing directors, pftt.
