I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters in Nov 2008
Interview
It was really simple, they were just interviewing one on one back then, but have since switched to group interviews for the most part. The best advice I can give is to be positive, and show the interviewer your personality. They like to hire people who are energetic and can handle the pressure of the fast paced retail world. Also, answering the questions without generic answers can help you stand out among other applicants.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to handle a disgruntled customer.

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 (Ridgeland, MS)
Interview
Easy interview with manager. We spoke outside about expectations. She was kind and understanding. I interviewed with a couple of people there too. Went over schedule etc. very straight forward and easy
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.
