The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel (Troy, MI) in Oct 2009
Interview
I filled the application out - turned it in, got a call.
I arrived early and ended up waiting about 10 mins. I dressed professionally, it seemed appropiate. I haven't had any sales experience before, so that was probably not good. I found out that they were hiring specifically for kitchen ware which I also didn't know too much about really. I don't think I was really prepared as I could have been.
They did send me a very nice letter though. Even if it was a rejection letter, it was nice.
Walk in group interview, conducted in store. Kinda awkward, there were at least 5 other people in the group. Everyone tried to get a word in and tried to one up each other.

Super quick, easy and chill. The interviewer was a bit late, but once we got started, they were very quick to ask questions. The interview took place on a couch in front of the store.
