I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Express (Arlington, VA) in Oct 2013
Interview
I went to a job fair they handed me the application. Then I went and filled it out when I returned my filled put application I also gave a copy of my resume and was asked general questions then I was pulled aside and asked a few more questions then I was requested to stay for a group interview. In the group interview there were about 9 of us with 2 interviewers. First the interviewers introduced themselves then we went around the table and introduced ourselves. Then the interview questions began and we were chosen at random to answer various questions. Overall it was a fairly easy interview and the interviewers were very nice and genuine.

I first applied online, and then I got an interview date and time, and then I went into the location for the interview. After that I just waited for a little bit of time and then I was sent an offer that I signed
Applied online, interviewed in person the next day. Interview was basically a vibe check. More important to apply during peak season (early spring or early fall) when they're hiring the most. Make sure you have availability on the weekend.
Easy and straight forward interview. They ask for your availability and if have fashion experience. Also, asks about previous sales and customer service experience. The job itself is not hard at all.
