I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uniqlo (New York, NY) in Sep 2011
Interview
I went to Uniqlo in Soho and observed their clothing and work environment. Everyone smiled kindly and were welcoming. The clothes were very casual and basic. I also checked out their website to get information on organizations they're apart of so I could prepare myself for the big question "Why do you want to work for us?" When I got called for an inteeview, I decided to wear something business casual. I went through two interviews and a background check form I had to read and sign. The first interview went well, as I expected to be asked the most common questions including:
"What are your strengths and weaknesses?"
"Have you worked anywhere else, and if so, why did you leave?"
"What do you know about Uniqlo?"
"Why do you want to work for us?"
"What skills do you have that you could bring to our team?"
"How do you handle stress?"
2nd interview also went well. I met with a store manager of one of the stores. They asked me variations of the same questions I was asked in the 1st interview.
They were both nice, smiled at me and made me feel comfortable during the interview, I was pleased with the experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you could be any animal, what animal would that be and why?
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.
