I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Madewell (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I applied to Madewell in response to a Craigslist posting by sending in my resume. I was contacted about a month later for an interview. The interview was only about 10 minutes and was one on one with the store manager. Very simple. Be sure to dress like the Madewell customer. Typical interview questions.
After the interview I didn't hear back for another month with an offer. After that, training began 2 weeks later.
I believe the fact that the store was not yet open impacted the timing of the interview and hiring process.
Contacted via phone to organise time in person. I was taken into the office and had a series of questions asked. A practicle situation was roleplayed. Easy process, manager was good.
I applied on LinkedIn and received a phone call to set up an interview. I met with a manager in person and answered a few questions about my background, customer service experience, and personal style.
