I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (New York, NY) in Nov 2014
Interview
I applied online on a Friday and received a call back around Tuesday. It was for an interview. The person who called me was super nice and he said dress casual and to bring an extra copy of my resume. And the interview was set for the following Thursday. I went into the location and was instructed to go upstairs. I saw one or two other people in a waiting area. The interview was suppose to be at 4 but by 4:20 no one came to speak to me. And by that time a bunch of other people poured into the waiting room. I think roughly 14 other people were waiting to be interviewed as well, seemingly. I honestly thought it was a one on one or even if it was a group interview, I thought 14 people was way too much. Nevertheless at around 4:30, one of the supervisors brought us downstairs and we all sat in a circle. Then she along with another supervisor started asking us typical questions like if you were a customer and an employee gave you attitude how would you feel or vice versa. After around 5 rounds of interviewing questions and going around the circle, they had everyone fill out paper applications regardless if you applied online. And while you were filling out info, they were actually picking out people that stood out. After around 10 mins, they called out names and basically if your name was called- your interview was over. I, along with 4 other people were not called. Then we were introduced to the manager that oversaw 3 different american eagles and he asked more personal questions like Describe yourself, etc. By the end of my interview he immediately offered me a position that was close to my school. I go in for employee training on Sunday!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you could describe yourself in one word, what would it be?
It was a Very quick process. Was Barely an interview. Was pulled outside of the store and just had a casual conversation. Was asked some situational questions as well and was hired on the spot.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2019
Interview
I went during a hiring fair so it was super quick and easy! Asked like 3 general questions (tell me about yourself, why do you think you will be a good fit, etc) and then 1 situational question (tell me a time you provided good customer service) and then I was hired on the spot. You really just have to be outgoing and energetic and show that you will be a great team player.
