I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at J. Crew (Jacksonville, FL) in Jun 2012
Interview
I have been a full time student for the past couple of years, so I am just now getting back into working. I went into J. Crew and picked up an application from the manager. I went back in a week later (I came down with a cold) and turned in the application to the same manager. She was extremely nice, both her and another employee complemented me on my outfit, and she asked me just a few questions. I received a call from her 20 minutes later asking if I wanted to set up an interview for the following day. I was interviewed by a manager from another J. Crew store. She too was very nice! She made me feel so comfortable, like I was having a conversation with a friend. She asked me questions about my past retail experience and why I was interested in working for J. Crew. She told me I will hear back soon. I am still waiting to hear back, but it has only been a day. Definitely crossing my fingers for this one!

Interview
Lovely interview with the then assistant manager. Just connect showing your bubbly personality and talk maturely about your former job experience.
It ran for about 30-35 mins yet felt as if time flew by due to great conversation.
Great retail job. Requires alot of connecting with customers, even styling them in the fit rooms. But also remember EVERYONES EXPERIENCE is different
Easy, Basic Questions with the store manager. Just ask about previous experience and your availability. Why you want to work there. Met with the store manager and asked questions outside of the store.
the interview was entirely behavioral and very casual/conversational. mostly just how you would handle customer interactions and selling the credit card. i would highly recommend working there and interviewing. very similar to other retail interviews.
