Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

This is a seasonal evening backroom role, 5pm to 10pm, 15 to 25 hours a week. Does that fit your schedule?

What they are checking: Whether they can reliably cover a set evening shift through the season without frequent changes.

How do you keep up a steady pace on repetitive hands-on work?

What they are checking: Whether they can sustain productivity in the backroom, where processing speed decides what customers can buy.

Tell me about a time a coworker needed help and it wasn't your job to help them.

What they are checking: Whether they will pitch in across the team rather than sticking only to their assigned area.

Tell me about a time you dealt with an unhappy customer. What did you say?

What they are checking: Whether they stay calm and polite, listen, and know when to bring in a coordinator.

Tell me about a job, class or team where you had to follow a set procedure exactly. How did you stay accurate?

What they are checking: Whether they can follow established operating procedures every time, especially for returns and cash handling.

What would you do

You might be cross-trained on the register, the sales floor and fitting rooms. How would you handle being moved partway through a shift?

What they are checking: Whether they adapt without complaint when the store needs them somewhere else, which happens often in this role.

What would you do if you noticed a coworker giving discounts to friends at the register?

What they are checking: Whether their honesty holds up under peer pressure, since integrity is listed right next to customer service.

A customer asks if you have a jacket in a different size, and the racks don't have it. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they make a real effort and stay friendly when the off-price stock simply might not have it.

About the work

Processing means getting merchandise ready to go out on the floor. What do you think that involves?

What they are checking: Whether they picture the real work of unpacking, tagging, hanging and sorting, and are ready for it.

What does loss prevention mean to you as a regular associate?

What they are checking: Whether they see shrink as everyone's job, like greeting customers and watching fitting rooms, not only security's.

How do you make sure merchandise goes back to the right department and size when you're recovering the floor?

What they are checking: Whether they pay attention to detail on sizing and placement, which keeps the store easy for customers to shop.
