I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at J. Crew in Apr 2011
Interview
Group interview at the store with the manager. She asked us questions regarding the company as well as how we would handle certain scenarios. The manager as well as the store employees were very friendly and really seemed to like the J.Crew corporate culture. The interview itself was relatively easy, but the store's organization leaves a lot to be desired. The manager told me that I would be hearing from her within the next 48 hours, but she never got back to me.

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.
