I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Edmonton, AB) in Aug 2016
Interview
Call from HR which asked pretty in depth questions. Be honest about salary as hey ask for verification of current salary. Second interview was also over the phone with the DM, asked a lot of the same questions. Received my offer later that day

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.
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.
