I applied in-person. I interviewed at Pacific Sunwear in Jul 2014
Interview
Walked in with my resume and had an interview the next day. The interview was a 101 with the manager. It was super casual and laid back. No difficult questions at all. They're not as strict with your work history as most companies. Note: most highschoolers work here, so they don't expect you to have a lot of work history
