Group interview with questions regarding past sales experience, multi-tasking, and tell me about yourself. There were around 4 of us in the fitting room area. We each had a chance to talk and it did not feel like we were talking over each other.

Interview
The interview process was very simple and straightforward. Make sure you share your personality and emphasize that you have a lot of availability. Also I would recommend practicing questions and answers as they were pretty basic questions that could have been for any retail store.
I applied online. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON) in Apr 2026
Interview
Interviews were held at the front of the store, but it was very comfortable. Questions were straightforward and easy to answer. I got to talk a lot about my personal interest in fashion and my hobbies. It was very personality based! They said it would take a few weeks to hear anything back which was a bit disheartening. But overall, it was a nice experience!!
