I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Express (Saint Louis, MO) in Jan 2016
Interview
I applied online and a few days later got a call from the manager for an interview. The interview was held in the food court, it was at least 20 minutes long. The manager was really down to earth and friendly, she made me feel comfortable. After the interview she asked for references, and told me if they check out I'll hear back from her. We interviewed on a Monday and i hadn't heard back from anyone, so I waited until Thursday to follow up but the manager who interviewed me wasn't in. I let the week pass by, then I called back the next Monday and talked to the manager and she offered me the job. Being persistent came in handy.

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.
