I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Abercrombie & Fitch (Kent, OH) in Mar 2024
Interview
It was a video interview. You aren't allowed to redo questions. It's short, simple questions so definitely prepare and leverage the time you have. I didn't love it but there's probably a lot of interviews to weed through so I understand.
