I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Akron, OH) in Feb 2015
Interview
My interview took place in store with the store manager and the district manager on a Thursday. I first had to fill out a paper application, while they reviewed my resume. They asked for specific examples on how my prior mangement experience would benefit the company and what I could offer/bring to the table for the store. Although I was asked some pretty tough to answer managing questions It was a very comfortable, more relaxed interview where it felt as though I was just talkin to friends. After my interview they had me take a type of personality survey. Basically just had to select adjectives inwhich would describe myself. They use that to show what kind of worker you are and how you'd fit in with their current team. After filling out the form for my background the interview process was over. I got a call the following Monday offering me the position!

Interview
I applied to the AE ASM even though I have more than enough Experience to be their GM. They Invited me to store for first interview with their GM, She acted like I was hired on the spot but needed verification with DM. Then DM texted me and I talk to Dm on phone Interview on a tuesday, then the DM specifically told me that he is gonna get back to me by early next week. Then the store manager and District manager both Ghosted me and refused to send a simple Email or respond to your texts or emails after 2 3 weeks of ghosting you. The Worst and the most Disrespectful Company I have ever interviewed with. Absolutely horrendous experience. I have never ever seen something like this in the 8 interviews I did this past month in which I got 4 Job Offers. No notification, No Email, They didn't even bother update the Application on AE website. This is coming from someone who was running a $150M dollar store before this. I would never ever apply nor work for any AE company or anyone associated with them ever again.I felt like It was my duty to aware people of how Terrible this company is ran. It takes 20 seconds to send an Email that says you were not chosen to continue with the company.
BTW I am in the Area of Columbus Ohio.
