I applied in-person. I interviewed at J. Crew in Jan 2015
Interview
Saw on a mall website that J. Crew was hiring. Went in store to ask for an application. Talked to one of the supervisors. She had me fill out an application. I returned the completed application and she asked me "Why J.Crew?" Right before the week was over, on a Friday, I got a callback for an interview. I went in for my interview the next week and had three separate one-on-one interviews with management staff. They asked me standard interview questions off a sheet. A few days later in the mail, I got my rejection letter. Didn't have any retail experience which is why I think I got rejected.

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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how comfortable are you with selling a credit card at checkout and how would you go about it?
