I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Fossil Group in Apr 2009
Interview
I interviewed with a new Store Manager who apparently loved my experience I had in retail and immediately sent me on to an interview with her District Manager. Two days later, after a small negotiation, I accepted the position.
But beware....I was not told that the Store Manager quit and the other Assistant Manager also quit (with 2 weeks notice to go on to something related to her education). So, on my first day, I was told that I would be the only one in my store until further notice.
