I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at J. Crew (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2011
Interview
He started by asking me to tell him about myself. So I told him the basics. I told him my views on customer service and also about how I work hard. Everything seemed to go pretty well. He told me about the positions (cashier, sales associate, personal shopper, and stocker). I told him why I thought J Crew was different than the average retailer. I also shook his hand afterwards. In the end, I received a letter in the mail a week later declining a position. This took place at the 900 Michigan Ave store.

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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how comfortable are you with selling a credit card at checkout and how would you go about it?
