I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Journeys (Kansas City, MO) in Jul 2009
Interview
I knew a kid that worked at a nearby store. I used to go in and help him finish his work so he could come hang out earlier in the evening. I already knew everything one needs to know to work there. I already knew the manager from all the times I'd helped out my friend. I needed a job. It was only logical that I work at Journeys.
The paperwork itself took two weeks to process. The actual "interview" was not an interview at all. Simply a smoke break and a half-assed conversation because the entire staff already knew me. It was a done deal the moment the idea was conceived.
It includes an interview with one of their managers with behavioral and experience based interview questions. They may ask for a phone screening with a manager as well. The whole process shouldn't take more than a few weeks.

Question 1
They ask about availability throughout the week and on weekends.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Journeys
Interview
It was quick and easy. Applied and got a call back 2 days later asking me why I wanted to work there and my availability. Then set up an in person interview which took around 10 minutes.
Quick 30 minute conversation. Pretty straightforward. As long as you seem like you can talk to people and are responsible you’ll be fine. Since it’s entry level they didn’t ask too much about past work experience.
