I applied online. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Phone interview with DM and then in person after I applied online. Not sure what happened as this was just before lockdown but it seems they ghosted me afterwards - I followed up when reopening was announced as I was asked to before lock down and got no response.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Schaumburg, IL) in May 2025
Interview
Took 2 weeks in between 3 separate interviews… after over a month of interviews and flexible on my end to reschedule for changes they needed, I never received further communication of going with another candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Availability and relatable experience. They also asked about specific examples.
Probably a little different than an external candidate but I still had to meet with the recruiter and district manager which wasn’t that intimidating since I already knew them. Standard SM interview questions which are easy to answer if you have retail management experience. All together a pretty good interview considering I got the job! I loved working at AE. One of the best retailers to work for.
