I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uniqlo (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2016
Interview
Pretty easy but the girl that was interviewing me seemed very preoccupied and distracted. She was friendly and really seemed interested in exactly what I wanted to do in the future as a career. She took very long and detailed notes as I spoke. Overall it was okay except for the 1 hour I had to wait to be interviewed. They gave like 20 something of us a 30min presentation about Uniqlo and their sales and goals which was informative but unnecessary because they constantly repeat everything about sales and stuff in the countless team talks you will have when you are hired.
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.
