Company culture and fit is a very important factor when considering a career move. Assure the interviewer that you have put thought, research, and consideration into how the company culture will work for you. Example 1: "I have researched your company through your social media channels, and on glassdoor. Your employees have really great things to say and overall it seems that you have fun while you work.
I am looking forward to joining an organization, like yours, that is upbeat and thoughtful with an eye on helping the community at the same time. You pride yourselves on being open, communicative, and friendly. I am really excited to work for Macys and find out more! At Macys we aim to be a step ahead of our competitors. In your opinion, what do you think will be the biggest fashion trend for next spring? Assure the interviewer that you keep up with the latest trends in fashion and that you have a personal opinion when it comes to forecasting trends.
Example 1: "The fact that Macys is always a step ahead of competitors is one of the many reasons why I want to work for you. I love to keep up to date on new trends and think that this spring the trend will continue to be platform loafers, oversized trenches, and chokers. One account that I follow regularly, to get a beat on what is coming up, is Nasty Gal.
They are always a few steps ahead and at the moment I am seeing a lot of embroidery, cut-outs, and glitter accents. Would your former or current boss describe you as a worker who gladly goes the extra mile to complete their tasks?
You can absolutely say that you will go the extra mile but it's best to give a real life example to the interviewer about a time when you did just that. Offer up your references as well and discuss with the interviewer what you feel your most recent employer would say about you. Example 1: "My former boss would definitely describe me as an employee who goes the extra mile.
In my most recent position, I was always available on my email and many of my service clients had my cell phone number just in case of an after-hours emergency. When you call my reference he will be happy to expand on that for you, I am sure. I have received very positive feedback from all of my previous employers. When did you realize that you wanted a career in fashion?
The interviewer would like to know what led you to a career in fashion. Talk about your passion for the industry and where it all started. You can draw on some personal points but try to keep your answer brief and to the point. Example 1: "I have had an interest in fashion ever since I was a child.
I would create outfits for my dolls and do fashion shows with my friends. My passion for the industry has been present from the beginning. In 9th grade I did a presentation on the evolution of fashion. The research I conducted really opened my eyes to the statements that designers make through their collections. I was hooked! When have you had to adapt to change?
Being able to adapt to change in the workplace is a very important skill to possess. Talk to the interviewer about a time when you have had to adjust to changes on the job. How did you handle the change? Was it a positive reaction?
Example 1: "In my current role there is a lot of turnover when it comes to our management team. I have had to adapt to 3 new managers in the past 4 years.
It is not the ideal situation but I am able to adjust for the good of the team. It was a lot of change to handle in a short time. At Macys we have thousands of applicants per year. Why should we choose you for this position?
What makes you a stand-out candidate for this opportunity? Why should the interviewer give you the position over another candidate? Make your answer unique and memorable.
Show confidence and don't be afraid to brag about yourself! Example 1: "You should hire me for this position because I can guarantee you that nobody else has followed your brand as closely as I have. I am passionate about fashion and see this as much more than just a job. Working for Macys would change my path and I plan to make a positive impact immediately. I am a world traveler as well. These 3 factors combined, make me an incredibly well-rounded candidate who will offer you a perspective and insight that others cannot.
Your current employer has a strong reputation in the fashion industry. Why do you want to work for Macys? Discuss with the hiring manager the ways in which you feel that working for Macys will provide you with the aspects you are currently missing in your position. Example 1: "I have worked with Company ABC for the past 5 years and because they are a smaller organization there is no longer room for me to grow unless I were to relocate.
This is why I am seeking a new opportunity. Working for Macys would allow me to grow into bigger opportunities while remaining local. I have heard excellent things about working here which is why I am so excited about the opportunity to join your team. My reason for seeking a new opportunity is not out of dissatisfaction for my current company but more so for continued growth and career advancement. In your opinion, which designer has been the biggest fashion trailblazer in the past decade?
The interviewer would like to know that you have a true interest in fashion and the ability to have an intellectual opinion on the happenings in the fashion world.
Give your personal opinion on your favourite fashion trailblazer and back up your reasoning. Example 1: "I feel that the biggest fashion trailblazer in the past decade is Vera Wang.
She is everywhere and her style speaks to people of all walk and budgets. I love that she can design clothes, wedding dresses, couture, and even home goods - proving that fashion isn't limited and is truly an art. Designers can make a huge impact when they are barely known, and sometimes the designers who are household names, have an 'off' year. At this moment in time, I feel that Tom Ford is the best known trailblazer because his style has remained distinct and consistent throughout the years.
Who is your favorite fashion designer and why? Display to the interviewer that you follow fashion design by discussing your favourite designer. The more you can assure the interviewer that you know what you're talking about, the better your chances of landing the position. Example 1: "My favourite fashion designer is Ted Baker. The designs are classic yet bold and unique. I love the use of pattern. When someone is wearing a Ted Baker piece - you know!
They are true luxury brands that have remained relevant yet stand the test of time and tradition. Do you have any post-secondary education related to the fashion industry?
