The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Urban Outfitters (Brea, CA) in Jun 2011
Interview
I went to a job fair group interview with about 5 other people. The manager asked a few questions, mostly regarding scheduling and two of us were given a piece of paper with a link for a personality test. The test consisted of a lot of drug/marijuana and shoplifting topics. I was then called in for another group interview with two other managers. They asked questions regarding what trends you thought were going to be big and so on.

Interview
The interview is done in a group of about 5-10 people. A manager asks a couple of behavioral questions, and everyone goes around answering. The vibes are pretty chill, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't prepare! It just means you don't have to be nervous.
