I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uniqlo (New York, NY) in Oct 2013
Interview
I found out that Uniqlo was hiring through an add on Craigslist, and proceeded to fill out an online application on their website. It took them a month to get back to me about an interview. When they did, I was told to come to the 5th Avenue location. I was in a large group, about 24 people. We were brought in through the employee entrance and sent to a back room where we had to do two interviews.
The first interview was very straightforward -- the person asked if we had done drugs or been convicted of a crime, and if we could work weekends and overnights. The second interview was a more detailed, traditional one. I was asked to give an example of a time I gave good customer service, why I picked Uniqlo, etc. It was still relatively quick, and when I was escorted out of the building, I was informed that I had received the job and would have to take a drug test within the next two days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time where you had a conflict with another person at work and how you resolved it.
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.
