I was looking for a summer job after finishing freshman year of college, so applied to a few places in a nearby mall. A&F and Hollister have kiosks in their stores, which make applying quick and easy if you're not at home on the computer. During the application process, you're forced to pick a date for an interview so remember to jot that down somewhere.
Interviews there are either one on one or a group interview, depending on how many people chose the same interview date. My interview was a group interview, and one of the managers escorted the six of us out to the food court where we put together a string of tables and chairs. In this sense, the interview was pretty laid-back. I was the only person applying for Model/Sales Associate while the rest of the five were applying for the Impact Team/Stock Room, so the manager took turns asking us different sets of questions. For the impact team, many of the questions had to do with past experiences, leadership skills, examples of how you've worked well with a group/helped out someone in need. As for the modeling position, you're asked about your thoughts on diversity, why it's important in the workplace, why the A&F brand is special, and how you feel that you fit their brand.
The result? After the interview, we were told we'd be contacted within a week if the store wanted to hire us. My interview was on a Friday, so I was surprised to get a call around noon the following Monday. I accepted, and during that phone call set up a date for orientation.
Hope this helps!
