Pick the role
Store Manager, Assistant Manager, or Associate / Key Holder. Each page is the interview they run for that job — not a generic “leadership” quiz.

Walk into the interview knowing the floor.
Interview prep for store jobs. Built by a former Banana Republic GM for people interviewing to run a floor, not a slide deck. Practice the questions they actually ask — then swap in your own stories.
Who this is for
You are interviewing for a store job. Maybe you already have the keys. Maybe you want them. This is not FAANG prep and it is not a corporate training portal.
- Store Manager — P&L talk, staffing, shrink, coaching, weekend volume.
- Assistant Manager — open/close, covering the GM, floor coaching, escalations.
- Sales Associate / Key Holder — availability, customer conflict, conversion, teamwork.
How it works
Three steps. No account. No app. Open it on your phone between shifts.

Read a floor-real sample
Every question has a STAR-style answer in the voice of someone who has stood the door, not a textbook. Short enough to remember. Honest enough to say out loud.
3
Swap in your story
Under each sample is one line: what to pull from your own store. Walk in with your examples, not someone else’s script.
Start with your interview
Same prep shape on every role page: what they test, the likely questions, and what to ask them at the end.
Store Manager
They want to know if you can run the building when volume hits and the DM is watching the numbers.
SM prep →
Assistant Manager
They want a second-in-command who can open, close, coach, and not freeze when the GM is off.
ASM prep →
Sales Associate / Key Holder
They want reliable hours, a calm floor presence, and someone who can sell without being a pest.
Associate prep →
Retailers you may be interviewing with — Banana Republic, Gap, Target, Publix, Walmart, and stores like them — show up here only as example interview targets. Not clients. Not endorsements.
