American Eagle Outfitters Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – The interview was conducted in a group in the back storage area. There were 5 of us total. The questions were fairly simple and something like what you would expect from any employer. The interviewer was very nice, in an overly-excited kind of way,but had the personality that was comfortable enough to approach.

Interview Details – I took part in a group interview at a location that is now closed. They asked pretty straight forward questions but really focused on customer relations. I interviewed with them once during that interview and received a phone call a week later. They offered me the job at a little above minimum wage and I started the following week.

Interview Details – I turned in my application and waited two weeks for a call. The hiring manager called me and asked me if I can come in for an interview the next day. I came in and answered her questions. She told me that she'll call the top 4 people within the week and we said our goodbyes. Later that day, I received a call from another manager saying that I got the job.

The manager was there, and asked why I wanted to work at AE. Then she handed me an application. I put my application in late september early october. I was still appling to other places, so i was shocked when I got a call because it took almost a month.

The interview was at 4 and when i got home at 5 the manager call back to extend me an offer.

Interview Details – I applied during the month of October, so my odds were higher than usual. I went to the store to turn in my application directly to the manager, and i was given an interview date on the spot (just three days later). I had an interview with one of the assistant managers and he basically went through a list of questions. The interview was pretty relaxed and most of it was just like having a normal conversation. I stayed relaxed, confident, and friendly, and approached the situation as if I was chatting with friend (but stayed professional). The interview took less than 30 mins and at the end he asked me to put together 2 outfits (men and women) and sell them to him. Afterwards, he told me to come on sunday for orientation and that was that. I was hired on sunday.

Negotiation Details – no negotiation

Interview Details – A long, three month process. This began with an awkward video-recorded interview where you basically record yourself answering 7 pre-formatted questions then send it back to AE for review. Two weeks later, I had a 30 minute phone interview with a Buyer at Aerie that was focused on their current store assortments, the latest fashion trends, and their competition. Next, a 30 minute timed retail math test consisting of 20 questions and a personality test. After that, they flew me into Pittsburgh for a huge 2-day interview event with 40 other students. The 2-day event consisted of 2 45 minute interviews with top buyers, a panel discussion, a 2-hour wine mixer, and a group trend project and presentation in front of 30 executives. Maybe it was just me, but the entire process seemed to center around them trying to talk everyone into loving Pittsburgh and the laid back AE culture. Very sorority-type, and everyone working there is young,young,young. Not incredibly professional.
