I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at L.L. Bean (King of Prussia, PA) in Nov 2014
Interview
So I can't remember for certain but I believe this was like a two week process. I applied for a seasonal position and a week later I was called to set up an interview for the next day. So I set up an evening interview, which I'm surprised they offered. It was a group interview of about three candidates and two interviewers. We all took turns introducing ourselves, answering questions, and selling the interviewers an item from their store. Based on other interviews I read, they always ask you to demonstrate how you would sell a certain item. I suggest reading up on some of their signature items in their About Us on their website. I feel like that may have gave me a little advantage because I knew about the tote before hand. Overall, it was a pleasant experience....the interviewers seemed very friendly and nice. The whole culture of this company just feels very welcoming and organized.
