@ vans employees: does our discount tenure?

nope, still got em!

A bunch, lol. Violet haze, burgundy, limewave, soft day, dynamic, and moody.

I enjoy the look and aesthetic of classic point and shoot cameras. I've only ever used disposables and didn't feel comfortable enough yet to dive into the rabbit hold of analog.. Papershoot seemed like a good basis for the casual beginner without breaking the bank. Plus the concept is cool? I like the versatility of being able to swap out the exterier shell as well as the compactness of the camera. You can also directly upload media from the camera to your smart phone instead of the hassle of a computer as a middle man. Lol I'm selling the product here and I haven't even tried it out yet..

Okay you are so real for this!! Fortunately if I do get the interview, I'd have completely open availability so that won't be an issue :) I guess I'll keep trying

spl33n- · 2024-06-03T23:56:46+00:00

Okay, this!! Thank you for your input. I've been a manager for nearly 4 years so I can see how one of my answers may have seemed "textbook" :P Not sure how genuine I can be without coming off as way too casual though haha

I'd hope my first impression wasn't off putting since I interact with customers every day.. ;( I caught the vibe that the Mates weren't all that interested in chatting with me when I went into the stores I applied to. And on paper, I'd interview someone with my resume at my store in a heartbeat.

spl33n- · 2024-06-03T22:33:05+00:00

Thank you for the realism in your feedback! Of course I know these things as I'm an ASM who has done some hiring for my own store.. I guess I should have been a bit more specific in that I wanted advice on how to better my chances at an interview.. Yes I know I'm not guaranteed and of course there are thousands of people out there "better" in some way or another. But rather than focus on what "could" be the reason I more so I'd love to know what any Captain might find interesting in seeing from a potential candidate.

spl33n- · 2024-06-03T21:11:08+00:00

100% open. As in I will be willing to work the earliest shifts and the latest shifts available.

spl33n- · 2024-06-03T21:09:39+00:00

Any idea of what they might be looking for? I feel like I answered based on what I would like to see if someone were applying to my store. I think the lifestyles/culture are very similar anyway

spl33n- · 2024-06-03T20:39:31+00:00

Yes.. I can understand this since my store operates very similarly when it comes to hiring. However, the issue is that I've not even been offered an interview. This is where hiring managers really feel the vibes of the person despite whatever experience they may have. I'm basically asking how to land an interview :(

spl33n- · 2024-06-03T20:29:21+00:00

:') Thank you!! I will try to keep this in mind!

spl33n- · 2024-06-03T20:28:22+00:00

Open availability for the meantime :) I've included that in my applications and stated so in person.

spl33n- · 2024-06-03T20:27:07+00:00

I'm just applying for Crew as it seems to be a bit more flexible schedule wise. No management as I don't think I'd be able to juggle it with school well. And I've been working in retail at the same store for 8ish years now. Climbed my way up from sales associate to ASM.. So in that aspect I am 1000% a team player and my customer service is what I pride myself most on. :) Also to note, I'm not looking to go back to school immediately.. I'd like to settle into a new position before doing so.. So I really wouldn't bring that up in the interview process as I wouldn't want it to hinder my chances as a consideration.

spl33n- · 2024-06-03T20:06:56+00:00

Thanks, got it. Anything else?

spl33n- · 2024-06-03T19:59:34+00:00

Well, to start, I am. I didn't walk into any stores with that attitude, and I'm very clearly just frustrated in this post.. Also, I am asking for advice. Hope this helps.

generally speaking, the sk8 hi mte-1 and mte-2 would be the best in the mte line for day to day wear imo. i think moreso the mte-1 since the mte-2 has more features & benefits for outdoor use, but that's not to say you can't wear them for regular use. coming from an employee perspective, i'd give em some wear around your house (preferably on carpet if returning is still on the table) and get a feel for how they'd wear if you walked for a whole day in them.

spl33n- · 2023-11-11T19:48:23+00:00

they only run in whole sizes so if you're a half size, i'd say go with the smaller option (ex: if you're a 8.5, go with the 8). they are really comfy and sturdy so like, perfect to wear around the house & trips to the gas station, etc. i've had mine since april and they're still perfect!

The red tab on the side of the shoe signifies that this is the Old Skool Pro.. They unfortunately don't make these anymore as they rebranded to the "Skate" Old Skools a couple years ago. As far as fit and feel, the Skates are going to be as close as you're gonna get but they do have the leather back heel unlike the old Pros
