I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Windsor Fashions (Ann Arbor, MI) in Jun 2014
Interview
Found the application online, it was originally posted over a month before. I applied anyways, not thinking anything of it as it was late at night when I did so. The next day, I received a call from the store manager asking me to come in for an interview. They had three time slots set up for the day I went in there, I chose the earliest one. I did some research on the company and current trends, even though I've shopped there before. I arrived for the interview about fifteen minutes early. They were busy and told me to shop around while they waited for a few more applicants. Two other applicants arrived and we finally went into the back room for the group interview. The manager was very friendly and talkative - she asked about 5-7 questions and we went around answering them. No one-on-one questions as we were already running out of time until the next interview had to start. She told us she'd be off for the next two days, so I didn't expect a call until after. After the interview, she had us fill out job applications in the store. After the next two days, I sent a thank-you email for the interview. Twenty minutes later I received a call from the manager offering me the position as Sales Associate. I went in the same day to file paperwork. I do not know who else they have hired besides myself, although the store still has the hiring sign outside their location. They possibly had around 6 or 7 applicants for the one day I went to interview, and the next day they conducted another interview, which had possibly 2 or 3 more applicants.

Interview
Sat in the middle of the mall with 3 other girls, supervisor asked typical interview questions and then asked us to describe to her what we think is something “in fashion” right now. Then we went into the store and she gave us each a scenario of a customer (I.e shopping for a cruise) and had us pick a afternoon and evening outfit we’d suggest to the fake customer and present them to her. Fairly quick interview overall
They asked me over and over about a literal few month gap in my working experience which was for school until something bad and personal happened I declined to talk about and said was personal. They kept asking which was inappropriate, I am not going to trauma dump in an interview, sorry lol.
They asked a few questions about your experience in fashion and why you would want to work there. It was a groups interview with 3 people. It was a quick interview around 30 minutes.
