I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Abercrombie & Fitch (San Diego, CA)
Interview
One hour interview with district manager. Can come casual if you like but be clean shaven and look the brand. Ask a current manager for styling tips - little things go a long way. Wear leather flip flops or converse, denim, a blue-something button down for guys with 2 top buttons undone and crew t-shirt underneath in white or gray. Girls have NATURAL makeup, aim to look like your not wearing any, no strong eyemakeup, I wore light eyeliner, but at work eyeliner is not allowed, only mascara. Little blush is perfect. Natural nails please. Pink or red toes, nothing on the fingers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your biggest accomplishment/What are you most proud of? Goal is to gague leadership ability, experience, and ambiition. No extra-curriculars or leadership is a major down. Think hard about how you can answer this question, it is the most important in gaguing if you are ready to be thrown into a manager position.
Also pin yourself and seeing this job long term. Do NOT talk about how it is temporary but you really want to get into acting.
Diversity: you better be a fan. And you should have a deeper thought process about it than just oh its people looking different.
Ex question: What is your definition of diversity and is it important in the workplace?
Ex question: Give an example of a time in which you worked with people of multiple backgrounds and made them feel included and respected. Pro tip: this doesn't just have to mean ethnic backgrounds, if you think about it, it could mean ages, genders, experience-levels, all of it! :)

Interview
Mann muss online Fragen beantworten niemand sitzt vor der Kamera außer die selber. Du muss deinen antworten aufnehmen und abschicken. Ich finde es angenehmer da man genug Zeit hat um über seine Antworten nachzudenken.
