Working at Hollister Co.

Hi! I'm a store model at Hollister! I've been working at HCO since August 2011 and thought it would be a good idea to make a separate blog to talk about work! Feel free to ask me questions and share anything! All opinion are my own, and I do not represent the company in any way! :)

Don't be embarrassed! After all if you get the job you'll be working with these people :)

hi I have an interview and I was recruited, I was wondering if I can wear shorts and a navy blue recent shirt, considering I was recruited wearing shorts. is it too casual?

Yes shorts would be fine. The interview itself is very casual.

can having acne hinder your chance of becoming a "model"

I don't think so

[allabouthco]

how tall i need to be to be a model???

There is not height requirement

[allabouthco]

I was "recruited" by a store manager to be a Hollister "model." Is that different from just working in the store as an employee? (Ringing up customers etc.) If it is different, how??

No it's the same thing

what qualifies as a write up? and how many do you get until you're fired?

You'll know if you got a write up because of have to sign it, and 3 until you're fired

Hey there, I've been working at hollister ever since Black Friday and I haven't received my pay yet. Do I just go up to a manager and ask or??

It should have been deposited into your bank account, if not then yes talk to your manager!

[allabouthco]

does height matter? also does skin tone and body type have to be a specific look?

Nope not at all!

[allabouthco]

I work at hollister, during the orientation, he manager had me stand against the wall, fix my clothing a certain way and took a couple pictures of me with my hands in my jean pockets.. Whats the reason for this?

They take pictures of most everyone. Just for you to be considered for various things such as cast off.

[allabouthco]

Is it normal for the manager to take your picture at orientation? He didn't tell me why he was doing it..

Yeah its normal 

[allabouthco]

So I left my hollister card at home, can I still clock in without my card??

Yes you'll have to manually type in your associate number and password though

Hi, im 16 but can i have an interview on tuesday? Cos like im turning 17 next week saturday anyways :)

Yeah that's fine. I interviewed when I was 16 too but by the time I was hired I was 17

[allabouthco]

Can i work 5 days a week?

Yes

[allabouthco]

If I miss my first two shifts because I have events to go to since I'm in stuco will I get fired? :(

If you didn't call to say you can't come in and/or get them covered then you might

Hi. I am a model at hollister and my first day is Tuesday. On my schedule it says regular. I don't know what my regular shift is

It means you have to show up at the time you are scheduled.
