I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Express (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2012
Interview
You fill out the application online. Go to express.com/careers. I filled out about 9 different retail applications in november, and express was the first company to get back to me. Within 2 week of me submitting the application I had gotten a phone call for a interview and 3 days after that I was in for training. My suggestion is to apply before the holidays or around may, a lot of college students are working for express and they usually leave for the summer in june.

Question 1
"how would you make sure to promote a positive working environment"
I first applied online, and then I got an interview date and time, and then I went into the location for the interview. After that I just waited for a little bit of time and then I was sent an offer that I signed
Applied online, interviewed in person the next day. Interview was basically a vibe check. More important to apply during peak season (early spring or early fall) when they're hiring the most. Make sure you have availability on the weekend.
Easy and straight forward interview. They ask for your availability and if have fashion experience. Also, asks about previous sales and customer service experience. The job itself is not hard at all.
