Abercrombie And Fitch

oh no..its not an actual "model" thing..its like a sales assitant thingy..they just call it model wierdly

just to confirm the interview contains the 3 group questions and then filling in the form for your availability, etc. right? I get the feeling I may have left before it was over

lol ye - what mks u think u left before it was over?
wen did u av ur interview?

They gona ask you what the best thing you can say about yourself is, 2. what is diversity( look for it on theirs website). 3 describe A&F style wear jeans, one of A&F t-shirt( shirt wud be better i think) or polo. Be confident and dont forget about smile:P

lol phew...when I left, I saw no one come behind me maybe they were just being slow

it was yesterday btw

Had the interview today and it went o.k. I ended up having to answer one of the questions first which seemed to be a major disadvantage.

Questions (paraphrased)

1. Define diversity and its importance.
2. Talk about a time when you strongly disagreed with a co-worker/manager/friend and how you dealt with the situation.
3. Talk about a moment when you worked without supervison, what went well etc.

These questions seemed to be pretty straight forward but i made the foolish mistake of being succinct in my responses whereas the other candidates took their time and worked them in such a way that they were relevant to abercrombie. Having read up a little bit on the abercrombie interviews, these questions felt a little out of the blue :/ . In terms of dress, i wore a hollister 'vintage' shirt, abercrombie jeans and adidas ultrastar 2's and I was ever so slightly shocked in how 4 out of the 8 people wore black (which abercrombie don't even sell.)

i highly doubt i'll get the call lol but it was interesting nonetheless. Urban outfitters interviews gave a chance for you to be far more individual seeing as they asked about 15 questions and it seemed more like a group conversation and far less awkward.

hey have u had a reply back from your interview?
I had my just recently and i didnt know how long they take to let you know if your successful or not - did they mention anything in your interview?

no I was thinking of giving them a call or something because I haven't heard back yet

they said they'd reply in around 2 weeks, so it's been a little bit over that period and I have to say my chances aren't looking too great

surely there's no harm in phoning them up, at worst the answer is no and then you can move on and focus on other applications etc.

I heard from a friend who's sister works there that it took her 5 weeks to get the call as they were waiting for a vacancy.

yh will call them tomorrow...the 5 weeks thing makes me feel slightly better though

did u give them a call?
i might wait a bit longer lol

what did u say over the phone?

well I e-mailed them and they replied saying if you haven't heard within two weeks, it means you are probably unsuccesful. then they gave me some crap about how I can re-apply for another position or wait 3 months if I want to re-apply for the same position.

o noooo whats your next plan?
wel ive been away so i wouldnt know whether they rang me or not so i dont know whether to bother contacting them
they'll probs say the same thing lol
