2⟩ As you know driving sales is an important part of the job. Can you describe your sales philosophy?

I believe that a good merchandise associate can drive sales and customer satisfaction at the same time. If the company’s products are good, and I believe yours are, then my job would be to help customers find the right product to meet their needs. If I do this well, customers will feel taken care of, purchase our product and develop loyalty to the store.

9⟩ As you know our merchandise associates must have detailed knowledge of our entire range of products. Can you explain why you believe you can excel at this task?

I believe I will excel because of my dedication to doing the job well. When I was hired as a sales associate at an electronics store, I had very little knowledge of any of the products. Most of my coworkers learned about the products only while they were on the clock, but this method was too slow for me because I hated not being able to give useful input to customers. I made flashcards to study at home, and I quickly became the most knowledgeable employee in the store. I approach every new job with this same mentality.

One good way to find out about the department is to try to "informally" interview the existing employees over coffee (outside of the office) if possible. It's hard if you don't have any connections there, but if you do a great way to learn about it. Other than that, it's often hard to learn about the department so you can turn the table back on them by asking questions to learn about it.

Make sure you know your CV inside out, and can speak about your experience without referring to it during the interview. Don't assume that only work experience is relevant. Try and think through any examples of achievements, extra-curricular activities or university projects (as well as work experience) which has given you transferable customer facing experience. For example, you could talk about working on a stand at your freshers’ fair.
