I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Payless ShoeSource
Interview
I called, asked about the status of my application, and after a few basic questions she asked me to come in for an interview around a week later. Came in, got there a little early, and she asked me very standard questions. Honestly most of the interview was more of a conversation based off of the questions that she let me ask. Then she asked me to mock sell her something. At the end she said I did great and wanted to set up a second interview that still has not happened yet.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Being asked to sell her something - I had no retail experience so it was a little scary but went fine.
I passed and started quickly. The process was simple and not intimidating. Everything felt straightforward, and I would definitely recommend it to others looking for an easy experience. I enjoy working here.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Payless ShoeSource (Anchorage, AK) in Aug 2025
Interview
Easy basic questions like job history, availability, and why you chose to interview.
