I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Men's Wearhouse
Interview
Very casual process. The Manager met with me and chatted for 20 or so minutes about the position, the duties, and my skills in sewing and fitting.
Unexpectedly, they had my do a sewing test to raise the sleeve hem of a suit jacket. I got about halfway done when they said they needed emergency pant hem alteration completed, which I did, and he said that was perfect, he was confident in me and hired me.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Men's Wearhouse (Vestal, NY)
Interview
Had to show extremely basic sewing skills. Have to know how to thread and use a sewing machine.
Have to be willing to learn their ways of tailoring. Absolutely no stubbornness and perfection is a must! Lots of listening and watching. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Questions are better than mistakes. Laziness is not tolerated.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Men's Wearhouse (Dedham, MA) in Sep 2014
Interview
First was a phone interview, where the position was explained in details and the overview of the company itself. Wasn't an interview so much as a quick talk. Then we scheduled a sewing test for a second interview. A senior tailor watched me hem sleeves (with vents/buttons/lining). I believe it was timed.
