Why J Crew?
Which are your favorite designers? One interview, simple questions about previous working experience and personal interest. The interview lasted twenty minutes more or less. The person who interview me was a personal assistant of the director, everything was ok and everything nice.
What I would bring to the team
Tell me about you between the ages of 8-12. Tell me about your mother, father, brother, etc.? Do you have children? Are you married? Tell me about drugs? What is the worst trouble you have been in with the law? Tell me about your favorite high school teacher? Are you still friends with people you went to school with? I'm in my 40's with plenty of work experience in the related field. Not one single question that was work related.

why do I want to work for their company?
Four phone interviews. 3 with recruiters, 1 with the hiring manager. I was emailed a "task" on late Friday afternoon to be submitted before my Monday morning phone interview. The task was a detailed presentation of various visual elements in their stores. I literally spent all day Saturday and Sunday to complete a well thought out and professional presentation. The hiring manager was somewhat flippant, but I thought it went well, though I probably hit a sacred cow or two. After that......ghosted.......repeatedly. Numerous calls and emails went unanswered. Not even the courtesy of a standard rejection letter. Considering I wasted a weekend of my time, I did what any reasonable professional consultant would do....I invoiced them for the presentation and my time. A simple bit of courtesy would have gone a long way. From a shopping perspective, I am now exclusively a Lowes customer. Their stores long far better, are far cleaner, and no doubt leadership is not as rude as The Home Depot executive team.
