I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at J. Crew (Atlantic City, NJ) in May 2013
Interview
The entire interview process felt pretty relax, almost like talking to your group project leader in school. Was one-on-one and we breezed by it in about half an hour or so. Was a fairly casual interview process. Started out with the manager talking a bit about the company and asking what I know about the company or what made me interested in working for them. The manager asked me no more than ten interview questions which we breezed through.
