I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Uniqlo (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2014
Interview
I applied online and was contacted through e-mail about 1 -2 months later. I was asked to interview through a job fair at the mall. The interview was fairly simple. Get a number wait and then interview with the supervisor. After interviewing with the supervisor, I interviewed with the Store manager. Lastly, I got home and received an e-mail a couple hours later with an offer.

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.
