I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Express (Baton Rouge, LA) in May 2016
Interview
Walked into the store to shop. Was helped by a cool associate and asked her how she liked the job and she said she loved it, so I said it would be cool to work here. She told me to go introduce myself to the manager, so i did and she also put in a good word for me. The manager liked me and had me write down my name and number and told me to apply online and he would get mine the next day. I filled it out online and received a call the next day to schedule an interview for 2 days after. Arrived at the interview about 10 minutes before and was asked to wander around while the manager is busy. Called back into the managers office where he asked me 3 simple questions and then asked me availability. He hired me on the spot and scheduled orientation 3 days later.
I first applied online, and then I got an interview date and time, and then I went into the location for the interview. After that I just waited for a little bit of time and then I was sent an offer that I signed
Applied online, interviewed in person the next day. Interview was basically a vibe check. More important to apply during peak season (early spring or early fall) when they're hiring the most. Make sure you have availability on the weekend.
Easy and straight forward interview. They ask for your availability and if have fashion experience. Also, asks about previous sales and customer service experience. The job itself is not hard at all.
