I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (New York, NY) in Nov 2011
Interview
So Sunday I applied online for the seasonal sales associate position. Monday night I received a call from the manager asking me a couple of questions. Basically why do I want to work for AE? What influences my style and my availability. Then he asked me to come in on Wednesday for a group interview. I got to the group interview and it was me and about 5 others waiting to be interviewed. A lady manager interviewd us and started promptly at 11am. She was very nice and told us upfront that she was looking for personality. The interview was very laid back and consisted only of three question. Not including the introduce yourself to us question. I was very talkative and smiling ALOT!!! After the interview was done she gave us all a packet to fill out, gave the instructions on how to fill it out. She informed us that if she wanted to hire us she will contact our references and based on how fast she gets to speak to the references is how long it will take to call us back. She called me back the next day which is today! She called in the afternoon and offered me the position. After that she asks questions to verify your availability and asks about holidays and weekends to see if you can work on certain days. And tomorrow is my orientation!!
