From the moment I walked in, the experience was unprofessional. I arrived on time and was not greeted by anyone. When I approached an employee to let them know I was there for an interview, I was ignored. I stood and waited for approximately 10 minutes before being directed to the hiring manager. While the hiring manager printed my resume, another employee stood behind her, looked at my resume, and made fun of my name. No one corrected her. That moment set a very uncomfortable tone for the rest of the interview. The interview itself was disorganized. The hiring manager openly warned me about the disorganization of the store and what I should expect working there. She also made a comment that seemed to reference the employee who had ignored me and mocked my name, without me bringing it up. It was clear this behavior is known and tolerated. Despite all of this, I remained professional throughout. At the end of the interview I was told they liked me and felt great about me as a candidate. I was then ghosted with no follow-up communication. The environment felt unwelcoming, and the treatment I experienced suggests a culture where unprofessional and potentially discriminatory behavior is allowed to continue unchecked. I would encourage candidates, particularly those with non-traditional names, to be aware before applying.

When you go in for an interview you are most likely nervous with my experience it was a welcoming interview and you can ask any questions you have. When learning what your job will be and what it is about . The interviewer will be trying to see what can of person you are and to see if you will be a good fit for the Company , just try to breathe and be yourself Claire's is a unique Company and fun to work for try it out for yourself.
