Lady Kakata Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 So, I've got an interview for a bridal shop. Very exclusive, you need an appointment to get in. What's your advice? I've bought wedding magazines to start research, I got information from the company and idea of some of the questions that will be asked. I'm thinking of going in my suit instead of my jumper/shirt top (it's a black jumper with a pink and white shirt collar and cuffs, VERY nice) and trousers combo to show I'm serious Quote
nbbug132 Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 If they're so exclusive that you need an appointment, go in a suit. It's harder to be overdressed, especially for a job interview, but it's way to easy to be under-dressed. Just be polite, respectful and try to present yourself in the best light. Highlight your talents & strengths. Explain what you can bring to the table. Don't lie or stretch the truth. Don't be afraid to admit if you don't know something, but make sure to mention you're willing to learn. Sounds like you're off to a good start already. Just give it your all and good luck! :) Quote
Sweetdang Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 What she said. Plus, I suggest you be quick on your feet. Or practice being. :D Think of appropriate space fillers to give you time to think. For example: "How do you think this dress could have had more of a punch?" SPACE FILLER: Naturally, this dress already has the basics, something to work around. I think that the designer could have built more on certain aspects. Depending on the bride, the shape and size of the waist of the dress could have been altered. YOUR REAL ANSWER: Therefore, I think one of the best ways to do highlight and put emphasis on the wearer's curves/ good features would be to... Yep. :) You already did yiu research, Good job! :) Quote
Lady Kakata Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 UPDATE : I'm doing a telephone interview! XD After wondering what to wear! If I pass I'll probably do a manager interview, I hope to get that far! Quote
Sweetdang Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Well then, sound cool, calm and collected. And drag your quick typing friends, with all their computers, over to help you. "So, have you heard about the bridal somethingsomething?" *Google searches* "Yes, I sure have. I read about it recently. It is.... *reads off article*" :D Quote
Lady Kakata Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 XD Actually I can type fastest of all my friends and am a touch typist so I've got that covered. It was very basic questions, despite the stacked replies I could have had for any questions Need to wait and see if I'm shortlisted! Quote
Aronel Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Here's hoping you get on the short list! Having a job at an exclusive bridal shoppe would be my daughter's idea of a DREAM job!! She loves everything about weddings. Quote
Sweetdang Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 When you get that job you're planning my bridal/wedding whatevers. :D ILL PAY YOU IN NEOPOINTS. ;D Quote
Alice ☮ Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Well good luck! And keep us posted! Did they say when they'd call back to let you know? Quote
Jeanie Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Though it is good to know your stuff about the bridal industries, it's also important that you are bubbly and warm, making the interviewer laugh is important too. Because I assume it's a sales position and you have to make connections with people in order to sell them emotional things like wedding dresses. Quote
