I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at francesca's
Interview
The questions were the general questions everyone in retail goes through. Basically told there would be a position opening up in the next few months (never was) you would be perfect for to get you in and to accept a very low paying job.
First interview with store manager and second with district manager.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at francesca's (Naperville, IL)
Interview
I had two interviews. The manager wanted to know about my experience with visuals because the store doesn't follow a specific guide when filling the floor. The interview was very friendly and laid back.

Question 1
The questions were your basic retail questions. Nothing too difficult or out of the ordinary.
I applied in-person. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at francesca's (Philadelphia, PA) in Aug 2015
Interview
I was asked a series of questions regarding my availability, my expected salary, how I get along with a team, what I expected of the position and some scenario-based questions. The first interview was in person with the boutique manager and depending on whether she found you to be a good fit for the store, team and position you were either recommended for the position or not. If you were chosen as a candidate for the position, you then were able to schedule a phone interview with the district manager. A similar series of questions to the first interview process were asked over the phone. Very simple and quick process.

Question 1
What are your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to customer service in retail?
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at francesca's (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2015
Interview
Long interview, but has several parts to it. You're able to walk around the store and find outfits, accessories, and other items to complete looks. I got a call first, then met with the Boutique Manager, following that I was supposed to meet with the District Manager, but since they were so short staffed, I had a phone interview with her. I was hired immediately, and began within the week. I was also given a promotion and a raise after 2 months, simply because we were so short staffed.
