I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uniqlo (New York, NY) in Aug 2013
Interview
I applied online for a sales position on 5th Avenue Friday afternoon. Monday I received an email stating that they would like me to come in for an interview the following Friday at 11 am. I arrived about 30 minutes earlier and I asked one of the employees where the Breakroom was. She smiled and gave me directions to the room. When I reached there were about 6 other interviewees there and other employees on break. The atmosphere was pretty cool. After the human resource manager came in and told all of us that we would be waiting for about 5 more minutes to see if any one else shows up. We waited and then she came back and walked us to a basement where there was a television and set up kind of like a cafeteria. The woman sat us down and told us her name and that she would be interviewing us. She then gave us a written application similar to the online app and told us to hand it in when ever we were done. After she began to call people in twos in order of their application. The another lady came down with two other managers and started interviewing three people at a time. You basically had two to three interviews in one day. One with the one of the human resource managers, next with assistant managers and some people went on to speak to the store manager. They will tell you if they want you to go on to the next interview or not. If you just had one interview and they say that's it for the day. Chances are you didn't get it. Luckily I only had to do two interviews and each of them were with just me and the employer. I was the last one to be interviewed and when my second interview was done, they asked me to take a seat. Then one of the managers came to me and offered me the job on the spot. $10 and hour. She gave the paper for the drug test and said after i do that I should be receiving an email stating when orientation is. The next sunday I received an email stating when orientation was and yeah, that was it. Just be yourself and try not be so nervous. Make sure you do some studying on the background of the company like where it started, where the company originated from, the owners name etc. etc. Because I researched previous interviews with this company and the company itself. I was able to answer the questions quickly ad cohesively.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Why Uniqlo? Not just because we are hiring but why would you like to work with us?"
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.
