I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at J. Crew
Interview
Interview was conducted by the manager who was very friendly and bubbly in the back of the store. Asked to tell her about myself and why I would be a good fit. Asked for my availability especially for black Friday, Christmas ve and Christmas day as well as New year's eve and New year's day. Was professional and casual at the same time. Very relaxed and felt more like a conversation than an interview.
I filled out an application, a day later I received a call from the hiring manager. We scheduled an in person interview, it was super chill. They offered me the position right away, I told them that I will give 24 hrs to respond. I chose not to take the position due to personal matters.
I walked in the store and asked for an interview and a few days alter I met with the store director one-on-one after getting a phone call. Then I was asked questions about my availability and I was hired. They seemed to think I was a good fit, I had dressed up well and J.Crew clothing, so I was hired quickly.
