I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Abercrombie & Fitch (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2015
Interview
The interview process was a casual and easy going process, so it's best to wear something that resembles their style which is preppy with a hint of a beach style (since their store models are required to wear flip flops to work). The interview itself was a group interview and was just a way for the managers to take a look at you, your appearance/style (so what you wear is very important), your personality and your vibe. They like to have people that are friendly and outgoing because you will be dealing with a lot of rude customers and will most likely have the chance to stand in the front of the store and be a greeter. Always answer your questions with a smile and make sure it does NOT sound like an answer that was taken straight off the internet, that will be a red flag. At my interview I could tell who was memorizing answers and I'm sure the manager could too. Just be yourself and make your answer unique..

I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Abercrombie & Fitch in Jan 2016
Interview
The interview was very casual, it's more about getting to know you and what you know. Share a lot of things that you've done in the past that will benefit the customer service and their satisfaction. They do try to do a group interview which may help you to not feel too nervous, however, it doesn't always turn out the same and I was the only one being interviewed. Just be very respectful and poised, answer professionally but also seem very friendly and approachable. I was lucky enough to be interviewed with someone who made me feel like we were just having a normal conversation.

Interview
Group interview. Mangers like when you show up to the interview wearing either the actual brand or something similar to it. Interview is more on looks rather than the content of a person.
