I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Mississauga, ON) in Dec 2010
Interview
Asked questions about how you would deal with different situations in the store. Had to be energetic and look the "part" (I.E. wear their clothes). Talked about previous customer service experience and about myself....needed to reflect that I knew about the company and that I would represent the label. Requires flex hours and you had to complete a "personality test" to see where you would "fit in best" at the store. Easy interview.

-pretty easy, went inside for an interview and they asked me about my experience. They then made me try on a bunch of clothes and taught me how to fold them.

I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Columbia, MD)
Interview
It was very easy as I knew someone who worked there. They got me an interview and asked me basic questions. They verbally gave me an offer on the spot and I got a offical offer a week later.
