I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at J. Crew (Aurora, IL)
Interview
I filled out the application online, and I got a call to come in for an interview only a few days after I submitted it online. I went in for the interview, it was very casual and we sat outside to chat. They were more interested in getting to know who I was, even though I didn't have any prior retail experience.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at J. Crew (Grand Prairie, TX)
Interview
Lovely interview with the then assistant manager. Just connect showing your bubbly personality and talk maturely about your former job experience.
It ran for about 30-35 mins yet felt as if time flew by due to great conversation.
Great retail job. Requires alot of connecting with customers, even styling them in the fit rooms. But also remember EVERYONES EXPERIENCE is different
Easy, Basic Questions with the store manager. Just ask about previous experience and your availability. Why you want to work there. Met with the store manager and asked questions outside of the store.
the interview was entirely behavioral and very casual/conversational. mostly just how you would handle customer interactions and selling the credit card. i would highly recommend working there and interviewing. very similar to other retail interviews.
