I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Coach (Cypress, TX) in Sept 2009
Interview
When you fill out the application, just ask when the group interviews are. You will be invited to come to the interview on a wednesday or in the middle of the week when it is not busy. You will be asked questions in turn. Just be confident, and really push your experiance in retail. They will ask you to get some items off of the floor and pretend like you are selling them to the interviewer. When asked what shortcut you have taken, your response should be that you do not take shortcuts, you do it right the first time.
It was pretty relaxed, two interviewers, mostly spoke about my CV and Customer Service. Why I want to join the company and why luxury retail? I am still waiting to hear back from them. Had my interview last last week.

Question 1
How would you influence a customer to make a purchase
Pretty straight forward and nothing too intense. Great energy from the team as long as you are competent yet competitive.
It was a 2 step process for me after the phone call and they brought me in immediately.
