I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uniqlo (New York, NY) in Jun 2015
Interview
The breakroom was pretty much a cafeteria for the staff. The waiting was longer than your actual interview. The HR person was late by 30 mins. There were about 20 people and we were brought to a basement in a building next door. The HR person was Hannah McKay. She was the only one who interviewed us. (5th Ave, 53rd St location)
We had to fill out an application. Don't forget to bring your resume. Also, they emphasized heavily on open availability for Saturdays & Sundays. If you can't work those days, your chance of getting hired is most likely 0.
Surprisingly, there was no group interview. It was just an individual interview. Everyone had to wait their turn and everyone can hear your response as the room was quite small. Almost everyone said something similar.
Just do quick Wiki search on Uniqlo. Memorize some basic history like when the first store was opened and where etc. You don't need to know everything.
After everyone was interviewed, we all left together. She didn't call anyone else to stay back. Just simply told all of us that if we were hired, we would get an email by the end of the week. Typically, if they hold you after everyone else has left it usually means you were hired on the spot.
Anyways, I was somewhat nervous. But just don't forget to lighten up a bit and be human. Just be likable and you will do fine.

Interview questions [3]
Question 1
What do you know about Uniqlo and why do you want to work here?
Do you have any questions for me? ( I asked her throughout her time in Uniqlo, what was her most memorable moment?) She told me it was a good question haha.
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.
