I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uniqlo (Paramus, NJ)
Interview
I first talked to the recruiter at the table in Garden State Plaza. I filled out an application there (you can also do that online). My first interview was on the spot, it was pretty easy. Basic questions like why you want to work at UNIQLO, if I have any previous experience. She contacted me the next day through email and said I need to get interviewed by the General Manager in the Fast Retailing office in NYC. There was another person in the interview with me, and he asked us the same questions and we took turns answering them. It wasn't difficult - it was like a nice conversation, about why I want to work for UNIQLO. He talked a lot about the company and its vision to expand, and asked if we see any possibilities of growing with the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where do you see yourself by 2020? Can you see yourself working with UNIQLO?
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.
