I applied through university. I interviewed at Saks Fifth Avenue Stores (SFA)
Interview
Two part interview- one part with a person in HR and one part with a buyer. Both are personable and ask a lot of behavioral questions. I found that overall it was a positive experience and not an intimidating atmosphere.

Question 1
How have you used industry knowledge to solve a problem?
I applied online. I interviewed at Saks Fifth Avenue Stores (SFA) (New York, NY) in May 2016
Interview
First the recruiter will give you a 15 minute introductory call; Then there are 2 separate phone interviews from Buyers/Sellers 30 minutes in length each. Mainly ask you how you have contributed to your campus and ask you to give an example of a time when you had to solve a problem in a team work environment.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Saks Fifth Avenue Stores (SFA) (Boston, MA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Had an informational interview beforehand, applied, received an employee referral, heard back within a week for a first round interview/phone screening with a recruiter, heard back within 3 days from HR saying that I moved onto the second round interview with a current Buyer/Planner, interviewed the next week, heard back the day after the interview. Quick turn around and very efficient process once you receive an interview.
