Zara interview guide

Zara is a fast fashion brand owned by Inditex, which also runs brands such as Pull&Bear, Bershka and Massimo Dutti. Store roles include sales assistants and stockroom assistants, and stock moves through the store quickly.

What Zara values

Inditex’s careers site lists the values that “move” its people, and UK Zara adverts add passion:

  • Teamwork

    Working as one team.

  • Curiosity

    Wanting to learn and ask questions.

  • Diversity

    Valuing people’s differences.

  • Sustainability

    Caring about the impact of fashion.

  • Creativity

    Fresh ideas.

  • Humility

    No ego; everyone mucks in.

What to show at your interview

  • Passion for fashion and customer service, which UK adverts ask for directly.
  • Reliability and hard work, also named in adverts.
  • Humility and teamwork. Interviews can be in groups, so be a good team player, not the loudest.

Questions you might be asked

Every interview is different. These are typical questions for Zara roles, matched to what they say they look for.

  • Why Zara, and what do you think of our current collection?
  • Tell me about a time you worked as part of a team under pressure.
  • How would you handle a delivery arriving during a busy trading period?
  • What does sustainability in fashion mean to you?
  • Tell me about something you were curious about and taught yourself.
