I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ralph Lauren (Orlando, FL) in Jun 2011
Interview
The interview process was basic. Brief interview upon turning in application, just dress to impress and speak professionally. If you pass then a group interview follows with basic questions, and then a final solo interview. The group interview is more difficult due to the fact that you must out perform others, however, once you get your solo interview you are almost guaranteed your job offer. Just always remember to be extra perky and excited.
