I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at J. Crew (New York, NY) in Oct 2015

The interview process was fast. There were two recruiters who were HR managers. The interview was about 10 minutes. The interview was a a group interview containg myself and two other applicants. The HR recuiter asked how I knew about J.Crew and my impression about the retail side of the company. After the interview i had received and email as well as a phone call.

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.
