How to Answer

The interviewer isn't asking you to try to reinvent the wheel, right on the spot! You can share an idea for an upcoming trend or talk about a new way they can give back to communities in need. This is a smart way for Chanel to test your knowledge of their organization as well.

Pick a topic like investing in employees, or developing a phone app. Take into account their values so that you can share an idea that they would find exciting and relevant.

First Example

"I know from my research that Chanel puts a lot of effort into gaining momentum from millennial customers. This demographic is highly technical and constantly in touch via social media outlets. I would consider creating more consistent hashtags and additional hashtag-driven contests for social media. I love the idea you recently had of a pop-up Chanel themed arcade in Hong Kong. I wonder what the response would be if that happened in the US?"

Second Example

"It's difficult for me to provide feedback on innovation without having worked here; although, there is always room for improvement, in any organization. I find your branding to be very classic and sexy. One suggestion I would make would be to advertise more on less traditional platforms such as Spotify or social media."

How to Answer

It always puts a little bit of fire under the hiring manager if they are aware that you are actively looking for a new position. Tell the interviewer about your search so far. Be honest and give a legitimate timeline on when you expect to be accepting an offer.

First Example

"I am keeping an eye out for viable positions. Although I am not in final stages with any other company, I am actively seeking a new position."

Second Example

"I am passively seeking a new opportunity which means that I am very particular about where I apply. At this point, I have interviewed with a couple of companies; however, they were not the right roles for me. I am very excited to learn more about this position with Chanel."

How to Answer

It's always a great idea to have questions ready for the interviewer. Review the Chanel website and other online resources to ensure the questions you are asking are not mundane, or redundant. The last thing an interviewer wants to hear is a list of items you could have found the answers to from merely watching a video on their company site!

Here are some sample questions:

- When would you like to have this position filled?
- How long has this role been vacant?
- Is this a replacement search or a newly created role?
- What is your favorite part about working here?
- What is the company's primary goal for this position in the next 12 months?
- Is there anything from my background and experience that I can clarify for you?
- What do you see as the most significant change in the luxury fashion industry over the past three years?
- Is there any reason why you would not hire me?

Example Answer

"Thank you for asking - I do have a few questions. What is top of mind when it comes to filling this role? In addition, what types of career growth opportunities would follow this position? And lastly, do you have internal candidates who are also interviewing for this position?"

How to Answer

Culture fit is a crucial factor when looking for a new position. Talk to the interviewer about the types of personalities that you best work with. Be sure to remain positive and avoid using this as an opportunity to speak poorly of previous colleagues.

First Example

"I best enjoy working with individuals who are driven, positive, energetic, and take accountability for their work. I do have the ability to work with a large variety of individuals; however, these are the ideal traits I would see in future colleagues."

Second Example

"Positive and driven people are the type that I love working with most! With that said, I can get along well with an extensive range of individuals."

How to Answer

Everyone will have their particular triggers that cause them to feel dissatisfaction on the job. Talk to the interviewer about any factors that may deflate or discourage you in the workplace. Help Chanel to understand how they can motivate you!

First Example

"I can feel dissatisfaction on the job when I am not feeling heard or when there is not mutual respect among the team members. I work best in more harmonious situations where there is little drama or gossip."

Second Example

"I do not like to dwell on the negative so I would much prefer to discuss what makes me feel most motivated on the job! I am very motivated by surroundings where I feel listened to, valued, and respected. A positive mindset and environment are important to me."

About Our Interview Questions

Our interview questions are created by writers, almost all of which, have a long history of recruiting and interviewing candidates. They do not necessarily have experience interviewing or working with companies, careers, or schools, in which they may write for on MockQuestions.com. We do, however, strive to match their background and expertise with the appropriate question sets found on our website.

Our careers, companies, industries, and schools may have duplicate interview questions and answers found elsewhere on our website. Specifically, our companies and our graduate school interviews. For these two, we use the industry in which we believe the company most well-represents and the graduate programs, as the basis for the interview questions and answers that generate for each company or school.

The intent of MockQuestions.com is for our users to build confidence for their job interview, by using our thousands of interview questions and answers as they practice and prepare for their interview. We believe, most of our visitors can become more likely to succeed in their job interview with hard-work and practice. We believe, the key to success is for our users to rehearse with our interview questions while using our answer examples as an idea generator for their own interview answers. We strongly want to discourage users from memorizing our answer examples. That is not the purpose of our website.
