The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Fossil Group (Round Rock, TX) in May 2011
Interview
Walked in with a friend looking for a summer job. The employee at the register happily gave us both applications. My friend and I filled them out and turned them in the next day. The manager came out and scheduled a group interview for both of us the next day. Then got a call postponing the interview. The questions were basic. Why Fossil? What would you do if you didn't know the answer to a question? Describe a time you gave great customer service (radical customer service as they call it at fossil). etc. Then got scheduled for another interview with an assistant manager a few days later. The questions were very similar to the first interview. Got hired on the spot.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If a customer gets aggressive with you, what would you do?
The interview was straightforward, yet had very thought provoking questions. The interviewer was easy going and conveyed a sense of calm, rather than pinning you with constant intimidation. Overall, the interview was simple and allowed to ask questions about how the company operates. So far, they were fairly open about my questions.
