Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Arcadia, CA Nov 2012 – Reviewed May 6, 2013
Interview Details – Easiest hiring process I have ever had. Went into the store during slow hours, applied at the kiosk in the back of the store and before leaving I chatted a bit with the manager. I received a call the following week for an interview on a Wednesday. Got to the interview, I walked around the store a bit while others showed up. Nobody else showed up, so it was a 2 on 1 interview because the other manager was training for interviews. Extremely easy interview, very laid back. They asked about what customer service meant to me, how I think I would fit into the Abercrombie style, very general questions. After 3 questions I was offered the position.
Interview Question – None. Answer Question

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Cerritos, CA Dec 2012 – Reviewed Jan 18, 2013
Interview Details – To apply, simply go inside the store and ask one of the models to apply. They'll lead you to a computer where you input your information and select an interview date, usually Tues or Friday in my area. The interview is usually a group interview but the number depends on how many people selected that day. They ask you simple questions, around 3, but one main one they ask is a question about diversity. After that you just wait a week, usually if done on Tuesday they call Fri or if done on Fri, they call Monday.

Went in and filled out an application. Set up an interview date and time.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Universal City, CA Jun 2012 – Reviewed Sep 30, 2012
Interview Details – A female associate from an Abercrombie & Fitch at a mall called out to me as I walked out of the store and gave me a job application (I guess she fancied my looks for their store.) I applied there and at Universal City Walk. A week after I got a call back from both places scheduling an interview. The mall didn't accept me. Universal City walk did. The interview was a one on one in person interview outside the store. Questions were basic: why do you want to work here? What do you know about the company? Previous experience in retail? With difficult customers?
