Yea I understand that biz would be more suitable but I just had a feeling that more people on /fa/ have worked at uniqlo and other sales associate gigs , so could provide more specific insight.

Apply for work as a waiter or bartender in restaurants. You can make a good amount of money in tips... Provided you are capable

>>10545863
Some general tips that are typically repeated on here in the context of other stores:

First, don't roll in there being Mr. /fa/. They don't give a flying fuck about your fashion sense or your knowledge of high-end fashion designers. There have been posters on here before who tried this and ended up not getting the job as a result.

What you do need to do is hammer in at least two things: (1) you are a personable worker, and (2) your prior work experience (even if it's outside the US) makes you ready for the job. Smile lots, be friendly, don't try to come off as "cool" or aloof. Emphasize any work experience you have beforehand, and emphasize your ability to work long hours under pressure. Don't put too much emphasis on your work in college - some interviewers might view it as an implication that you intend to book it after you graduate, others might get all jelly that they couldn't go to college or something. Also don't yammer on about what hours you need off for school - that's something to discuss in detail after you get an offer.

That said, given the job market and the nature of retail, you should probably have more interviews than just Uniqlo. The chances of you being hired - especially for any reasonable amount of hours - aren't astronomical.

Explain?

uniqlo is an asian company and they overload their workers for maximum profit. dont even bother with that shit for minimum wage or a couple qts.

Worked at uniqlo for 8 months. Smile a lot, eye contact.
Only interview question that three me off was something along the lines of how you overcame a recent struggle.

I work in NJ and the NY people we had visiting tool their job way more seriously.
But I got promoted twice ez just by smiling a lot.

go the fuck home

>how you overcame a recent struggle.

wow a standard interview question thats been asked in every job interview i've been apart of since i was 15 years old threw you off?

you must be helpless.

>>10549688
It threw him off because he has no struggles

>>10549732
Not him, but that was all I could think of as an answer lol.

>>10549655
that's prolly because ny store is staffed with 100% imports whereas nj people retain the native tristate dgaf attitude.
