I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uniqlo (New York, NY) in Aug 2014
Interview
I had applied to the store twice already, but decided to give it another try once my sister had recently gotten a job at the soho store. So I applied and got a email asking for an interview at the fifth avenue location six days later. I went and they took us a long way to a basement where we started. The assistant manager introduced herself and basically said the two requirements to work at unqlo was to close two shifts a week and have open availability on the weekends. Then they gave us sheets to fill out then collected those and our resumes. Then the interview process began. They began calling people one at a time and then escorted them out. When it was my turn the woman basically asked: "what do you know about uniqlo?" "What can you bring to uniqlo?" , and "name a time you dealt with a difficult customer." I just remember smiling and keep eye contact. After it was done, she thanked me and escorted me out. I left feeling uncertain if I got the job but two days later I received an email inviting me back for a second interview with the general manager. This time it was me and two other girls. The general manger was nice and easy to talk to. It felt very relaxed and we were all laughing at some point. At the end he shook our hand and told us we would recieve an email in a week if we got it. We all left feeling confident. The next day I received an email offering me the job and asking me to take a drug test. Just have good energy and smile a lot and you'll definitely get it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Where do you see yourself in ten years?"
"What do you like about uniqlo?"
"What do we need to improve on?"
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.
