I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uniqlo (San Francisco, CA) in May 2014
Interview
I applied online. After about 2.5 weeks, I received an email asking for my availability for an on-site interview. The on-site interview took place only a couple of days after I received the invitation.
My on-site interview was a group interview with three other candidates. The interviewer first provided us with more information about the store and the position. He then asked us several behavioral questions, which I've listed below. The whole interview lasted about 30 minutes.
I received an offer email that night.
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.
