I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel (White Plains, NY) in May 2011
Interview
They call you into their store and ask you the typical retail questions. What's your experience, how are you with customers and customer service, do you have any experience dealing with money or registers, can you work late, can you work on weekends. They will also ask question specific to them like do you know the difference between a white wine glass and a red one.

Interview
It took them about one week to get back to me for a phone interview. The interviewer was friendly and asked basic questions. The basic questions were about your weakness, why you want to work there, your experience at crate and barrel. They were also very patient with me because I was nervous. After the phone interview they got back to within five days, but I didn't move on to a one-on-one interview.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
The interview process started with a written application form. I received a call for an interview, after this I went for TWO interviews. The first was with a Manager and then the Store Manager. I feel for a part-time Sales Associate job, two interviews are a bit excessive.
