Pottery Barn is dedicated to creating great customer experiences. If you have experience in the retail industry, walk the interviewer through your previous jobs, highlighting your favorite and most challenging positions. If you don't have any retail experience, that's okay! Try to tie the skills you gained in other jobs to the skills required in this position, and let the interviewer know that you're excited to make the transition to retail.

"I have worked in retail for the past eight years. My most challenging position was with Company ABC. I found it so challenging because it was a different industry than I was accustomed. I learned a great deal during that time. This position was also my favorite because it was such a great challenge. I like to be pushed beyond my boundaries. It keeps me motivated to be better."

"While I haven't yet worked in a retail environment, I'm excited to get started! I love learning new things, especially when it comes to working with and serving other people. In college, I worked in a writing lab where I corrected younger students' essays and helped them prepare for English exams. It was a challenging job, but I learned so much about listening, practicing patience, and helping frustrated students feel at ease. I think that experience set me up for success in the retail world!"
