I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uniqlo (West Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2013
Interview
Started through campus recruitment, submitted application through school's career website and UNIQLO's. Was emailed back immediately, the day after I submitted resume was contacted for a Skype interview scheduled three days later. After Skype interview was called back for case study interview to be flown out to SF after a week. Pretty fast interview process.
Did strongly on the interview because I aligned my values with their mission statement and goals as a company in terms of being a malleable business leader. However, case study interview with a group was unclear in what they were looking for during that process. Possibly collaboration, team work, ideas, but mainly they wanted to see business thought process. I was informed three days after the case study that I would not move forward to the final interview which was in SF again a week after the case study interview.
Pros - good interview experience to strengthen self for more prospective interviews
Cons - salary under 45k, but when you start it is not salary. some expectations are unrealistic, but definitely attainable over time
The application process is easy however it took them a month to reply back. However, based on what my acquaintances, it is really that long. Then they asked me to fill up some forms and now I'll be having my orientaion.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uniqlo
Interview

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most difficult question was "where do you shop?" As simple as it seems, I was caught off guard and second guessed my answer. I was going to say Thrift Shopping, because I do shop there but then was worried about being judged by a retail executive.
