Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 days)
I walked in one day to hand in a paper app that I filled out the weekend before, it was Sunday. I handed it to the associate behind the counter. She asked me my name and set me up for an interview on Tuesday. I was so excited and agreed. I arrived at the interview on Tuesday 10 minutes early and waited around the store for the manager. I was interviewed, it was pretty easy I thought everything was going great. She told me I would get a call back within the weeek. I didn't. So I continued to call back every friday for the next month. Eveytime I called I got the same answer "we are still trying to get in contact with your references".

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 4 days)
I work at Bath and Body Works and I wanted a Sales Lead position and I have been there for 4 years and thought I should think about moving up the ladder at work, but the store manager would hand pick people she liked to work with.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
The interview was a group interview with the manager face to face. I did not feel intimidated or pressured at all during the interview. The manager was more interested in what kind of people we were like. They found out our strong points and suggested positions within the store where we could use them in. They were very informative in telling us what to expect through the hiring process and what the store operations are like.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 1 week)
It was just me and the manager in the back room, and the process went very smoothly. She was really sweet, which definitely put me at ease. She pretty much asked me about availability, and we chatted for a little while (about school, my current job, etc). She seemed generally interested in me and it was a laid back interview that lasted 20-30 minutes. Altogether, I felt very optimistic about the interview.
It was a Saturday and she said she'd give me a call after checking my references that coming up Wednesday. I didn't receive a call on that day, and I waited Thursday and most of Friday - still no call. Friday afternoon, I decided to give her a call and she said that the hiring manager was in a meeting and that she'd leave my information. That following Monday, I got the call that I've been offered the job! :)

Negotiation Details
The lady on the phone told me, "You will be making $8.25 an hour." It sounded pretty final so it would seem that negotiation wasn't an option. I didn't really mind anyway, so that's what I accepted.

Recruited by DM. Contacted by recruiter. Phone interview set up with recruiter, set up interview with DM a week later. After interview,recruiter called to say another candidate had been chosen,but DM thought it was a great interview and wanted to keep in contact. About a month later,recrituer called to see if I would be interested in a comanager postition in a higher volume store. Salary was comparable to what I was making as store manager at current company. I then was sent to talk to the store manager and offered position within a week.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Birmingham, AL (took 1 week)
It all started when I saw that they were hiring through an email. I printed out the application and took it to the store. Thankfully, the co-manager was there and she helped me fill in parts I didn't understand and gave me a basic idea of what the job would require and how the interview would go. I was already uneasy because this was my first time applying to a job. Being a full time college student, I've never been employed. Anyway, she gave me some positive feedback and said she wold call me. She called the next day and scheduled an interview for a few days later. The interview was normal I guess, but since I was so nervous it was vey difficult for me. The co manager said she would be there but she actually wasn't and I also had to have to interview with another person who applied for the job. When it all came down to it, they hired the other girl I assume because she had retail experience when I did not. They said they'd call me in a week even if I didn't get the job but they never did, which was disappointing. All in all, I still really want to work there because of the great environment but after this experience, it's left me a little scarred. I thought they hired based on personality and not on experience and I believe that the other girl was really bland, to say the least.
