I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Fairfax, VA) in Nov 2015
Interview
It was a group interview so everyone took turns answering the questions. It wasn't too intimidating though. It was almost like we were having a group discussion. They call your references that you put during the interview. By the time we left the room and got in my car i was getting a call saying i got the job. From the time i applied to the time i got the job offer it had been 2 days.

Very easy, first a phone call then meeting in person. Took a while to be seen in person even after the scheduled meeting time, they had me just kind of stand in a corner for a while waiting for someone to become available.
