Interviewed Feb 2012 in Burlington, MA (took 5 days)
Went into a HCO store to return some jeans and was asked whether a) had a four year degree and b) interested in becoming a MIT. I figured I had nothing to lose so the Assistant Manager set up an interview with me and and district manager (DM) the following day. Since the store is fairly loud (blaring music, overly perfumed and generally dark) the DM took me to the Nordstrom Cafe area for the interview. The interview itself was fairly basic. She explained to me the agenda of the interview and then told me I could ask whatever questions I liked at the very end. She first explained to me her own career path to the present, then read the pamphlet of what is expected in the MIT program and a AF Brand employee. After giving me the overview of the company she began a series of behavioral questions that asked me to use examples from my previous work, school, background - All my answers were scribbled into her pamphlet for recording purposes. The whole process took 1.5 hours.

Interviewed May 2011 in Portland, OR (took a day)
I interviewed with our district manager. I had already worked for the company before, so I knew that they were hiring pretty much 100% based on looks. The M.I.T. hiring process is the same as the "brand model" hiring process except you need to have a bachelors degree. The questions were pretty simple situational questions about prior experiences or how I handled certain situations.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2 days)
The District Manager obtained my information from the area recruiter, who in turn obtained my information from Monster.com. My first interview was with the Store Manager and it was held on a bench in the mall, just outside of the store. The second interview with the District Manager was held just outside the food court. Both of them were easy to talk to, the questions were not difficult to answer, and it felt more like a basic conversation than an interview.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
The interviewer introduced herself before asking each of us to talk about where we were from and what school we were attending, and then went on to talk about Abercrombie and what was expected of us. She jot down notes of all our answers to the q's she asked. There were about five ppl including me so a lot of the people who answered towards the end repeated whatever was said beforehand. Very chill and loose environment. Suggest wearing abercrombie clothes and show a laidback but professional attitude.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Temecula, CA (took a day)
Applied inside the store, and a team member came up to me and said they were having open interviews on these days. So I went back on the day of the interview (Tuesday) and was told there weren't enough managers on duty for the day, and then was asked to come back Thursday (2 days later). I waited at the "lounge" for about 20 minutes and the interview took about 20 minutes. Both managers that were on duty at the time were only about 20-25 years old, and seemed just as nervous as I was.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in McLean, VA (took a day)
It was a group interview of 7 people. They interviewed you in order by what position you wanted. If you want to be a model, you'll be interviewed with the model questions. If you wanted to be an impact member, you'll be interviewed with the impact member questions. I was model and the big thing you want to do is basically go over their company basics like what they think their clothing is. Match it to that and you'll be fine.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
Was spotted on the streets and invited to an interview. First interview was simply a briefing. The person I interviewed with was very engaging, helpful and organized. He made the job seem exciting and I really appreciated his enthusiasm.
Second interview wasn't that great. The interviewer walked in, in his gym clothes and informed me, "oh can we re-schedule to tomorrow?" without any apologies. I thought that was really unprofessional. He then casually asked me if I had any questions. (Their style is real casual)
The next day, I went for the interview again. My interviewer didn't have an interview room for me! We did the interview in the storeroom. He had this thick set of questions for me. But the interview was puzzling. He seemed disinterested in what I had to say and whenever he asked me something from his thick set of notes, he busily scribbled down some stuff with no eye contact whatsoever. It was quite off-putting and really discouraged me as an interviewee. So I kept my answers pretty short because I didn't get any feedback from him. Usually interviewers will at least try to look interested.
I think overall, A&F has a really laidback culture. I felt like I couldn't fit in. I'm not that laidback. I guess I'm used to the organized culture that most local companies here have so I didn't want to proceed any furthur. If you're a laidback person who is really out-going and loud, then this job is suitable for you.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Columbus, OH (took 4+ weeks)
I was contacted on LinkedIn by an Abercrombie & Fitch recruiter and had a phone interview that week. This was a 20 minute introductory conversation where the recruiter asked basic questions about my background. During this phone call I was asked to come to the home office for an in-person interview. I was told to dress "A&F casual," which is definitely recommended if not required. The home office exudes the same brand sense as their stores do and I think they want to see that you would fit with the company culture. The first in-person interview consisted of the Wonderlick test (50 question/12 minutes) and interviews with two people from the Allocation department. I was there for a total of 2 hours. A week or so later I received an email from the recruiter asking for another in-person interview. This interview consisted of four 30-minute interview with higher level executives. Be prepared with a lot of questions! They want to know that you are interested in the training program and can ask good questions. If you run out of questions just ask the same ones to different people to get different perspectives. Although they asked some difficult questions, non were out of the ordinary. I was that it could take up to 3 weeks to hear a response (my last interview was just before the holidays). I got the contact information of everyone I talked to from the recruiter and I sent everyone thank-you notes. Even though I didn't end up getting the job, the overall interview process was very positive. They don't try to intimidate you or stress you out during the interview and it was an overall good experience.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
I applied on Craigslist and got a call from Abercrombie and fitch recruiting office. The interview was at 9pm. I came in a little earlier to fill out the application. They had us wait. Then we was interview as a group and she asked us to tell a little bit about ourselves & asks 4 questions. Very relax and calming . She either called on us or we raised our hands. Then we asked any questions we had and was told that they were conducting background checks and told us within 10 business days they will or wouldn't hear from them .
