Rue 21 Application


The first step in getting hired with the Rue 21 is by printing and filling out the official Rue 21 application. For your convenience we have included it below. Upon accessing the application you will be prompted to a PDF file. In the bottom right hand corner of the page you will see an option to print.

 

Tip: Consider printing two or three copies in case you make a mistake on one of them. Also be sure to fill out the application in blue or black pen only. Never use pencil.

Applying For A position

In looking over the Rue 21 application you’ll notice a series of questions. One of the more important sections on the form is the “desired position” line. This is where you fill in what job or jobs with the company you are interested in applying for.

In choosing your position its important to be realistic. This means only applying for jobs you are qualified for based on your experience and/or education. Different jobs with the company have different eligibility requirements.  For instance, if this is your first job or if you don’t have much experience working in retail, it is suggested you apply for an entry level position such as “store clerk”. Store clerks are responsible for the basic day to day operations on the store floor. Duties include things such as cashiering, stocking shelves, and greeting customers. If you have previous experience in retail consider applying for a position with more responsibility, such as supervisor or manager. Although these positions entail much more responsibility, they do pay much higher than entry level positions.

Availability

Another important part of the Rue 21 application is the “Availability” section. This is where you input what days and hours of the week you are available to work. This is another section where it is important to be realistic. If you currently go to school or have a busy schedule you likely won’t be able to apply as a full-time employee. Instead you’d want to check the “part-time” box and fill in your hours of availability accordingly.

References 

Next I’d like to speak on the “references” section of the Rue 21 application. In the eyes of management this is an extremely important section. References give the company an idea of who you are and how you’ll be an asset to company.

The form asks you to provide three references. When choosing references its important not to use family or friends. Instead you’ll need to provide professional references such as previous employers, teachers, guidance counselors, etc.

Requirements 

Before you turn in the Rue 21 application it is important to confirm that you are in fact eligible to work for them. The most important requirement is that you’re old enough. Age laws vary from state to state, however the typical law is that you be at least 16 years old. With that being said there are exceptions. Most states allow you to work at 15 or 15 1/2 if you have a work permit. Work permits can be obtained through your school’s guidance counselor.

Other requirements:

-Be able to stand on your feet for several hours at a time

-Strong people skills

-Basic math skills

-Proper hygiene

One thing to note is that the application inquires as to if you have ever been convicted of a crime. If you have been convicted of a crime it does not necessarily disqualify you employment. These situations are accessed case to case.

 

If you are a hard worker with a great attitude and a passion for retail, Rue 21 is the perfect company for you.

 

 

Rue 21 Jobs

Store Associates

These are generally the first people you see when you walk in Rue 21. Their duties include assisting customers, ringing up purchases, and maintaining the cleanliness on the retail floor. Store associates must know how to multitask and must have a friendly attitude towards customers. They also must be willing to work flexible hours, as well as on holidays. Most Rue 21 applications received are for this position.

Customer Service Representatives

Customer service representatives work behind the help desk. There are also customer service positions at the company’s call centers. Their job is to answer customers’ questions concerning orders, store policy, etc.  Customer service representatives who work in store usually do the same tasks as those who work at call centers.

Managers and Assistant Managers

Managers and Assistant Managers are responsible for overseeing day to day operations of the store. Such duties include hiring/firing employees, training, handling conflicts between employees, helping customers, preparing payroll and time sheets for employees’ payments, etc. Managers need to be assertive, know how to supervise others in a respectful manner, and be skilled in performing tasks to keep the store running. If you don’t have previous managerial or retail experience, avoid applying for it, as there are hefty requirements.

Rue 21 Models

If you are a model or an aspiring model, consider modeling for Rue 21. As a model your face will appear in Rue 21 catalogs, brochures and TV commercials. If you are interested, you’ll need to create a portfolio of your most exciting and diverse photos and mail them to different modeling agencies for considering. In the meantime you can attend local modeling auditions to gain extra experience. Most of these positions are filled through casting agencies and can’t be applied for through the traditional Rue 21 application.

Night Stock

At some Rue 21 locations, night stock workers are needed. Their duties include stocking merchandise during evening hours to prepare for the next day. They are also responsible for removing old inventory and replacing it with new inventory. Night stock workers also clean up around the store before closing time. Fill this position in on your Rue 21 application if you desire “behind the scenes” work.

Jewelry and Beauty Associates

Not all Rue 21 stores have these departments. Jewelry associates put up new jewelry and place price tags on them. They also assist customers in choosing jewelry pieces. Beauty associates answer questions about makeup and cosmetics. They also assist customers in trying on makeup to see what suits them.

In closing, there are many jobs available at Rue21. If you have the passion and desire to work in retail they most definitely have a position for you.
