I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Carter's (New York, NY) in May 2011
Interview
Was a pretty standard interview for a sales associate position. The store I was going to be working for was not open yet, so I had to interview at another store (~45 minutes away from the actual store). We talked in a pretty sketchy back room, but over all, the interview took 10 minutes. They hired me right on the spot (should have known this was a red flag) and I started working that same day. I was left with minimal instruction about what to do.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When was a time that you worked with someone who was not of the same race as you? How did you handle that situation?
Interview was good and recieved a call back next day, was shared around the store, and asked questions about customer service. This is great place to work for college students or a second job, as it is part time hours.
The process was not too long, with a screening interview by phone and an interview in-person with the store manager. They need to know about your communication skills and sales experiences.

Interview
Super chill and asked relevant questions to the job, its a one on one conversation and ask a lot of questions about you as a person. Dont stress too hard and just be yourself.
