I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Uniqlo (Orlando, FL) in Apr 2016
Interview
I applied online, but since they are just opening a new store here, they had couple of weeks of open house interviews where you can just walk in and have an interview. It's a Japanese company, so they had a group interview for the first round. Some people were sent home having told they need to come for a second round. Others got an offer on the spot. If you choose to accept, you will have 48 hours to complete a company paid drug test at LabCorps, and then 24 hours after that for a background check.
I got a phone call from the Talent Acquisition staff. Asked basic question about the company and availability. After the phone screening, I got a one on one interview with Store Manager.
Group interview taking turns answering given questions. Group number is 3 and you will talk to the manager and assistant manager. First you fill out a form giving available days and what hours you wish to work.
The interview took place in a hotel conference room with many other candidates. Asked us 2 super simple questions and to work in teams. Afterwards, some candidates got an interview with the HR department. They were asking each one of us the same question ( there are 2 more people with me). Overall, it wasn't the worst interview; they do not take their time to actually get to know you as a person and do not want to give you an opportunity to work part-time, because you might decide to leave to pursue your career in a year or two which I don't think is fair.
