Interviewed Aug 2011 in New York, NY (took 6 weeks)
I was contacted by a recruiter working with Chanel about an opening in their supply chain planning department. I spoke at length on a Saturday afternoon with the recruiter on the role. Monday emails were exchanged seeking a Tuesday meeting, when I met on site in NYC, with the hiring manager and a demand planner. I felt that my meeting with these two people went well. I am experienced in the role, it's responsibilities and the software tools associated to perform the job.
My final meeting was with the Director of HR. My meeting was delayed due to errors in scheduling by Chanel. I waited for approximately 45 minutes in a lobby having an impressive view overlooking Central Park. Upon meeting the Director of HR, apologies were offered for being tied up in another meeting and the Director immediately indicated that there areas of my resume that could be improved upon and to not leave without talking about these changes. This exchange did not give me a good feeling of my opportunity for this role. I learned that the Director dismissed my skills and experience in supply chain planning due to a lack of knowledge of the luxury goods market and her determination was made before meeting with me. Our meeting proceded with several of the typical interview questions and a review of my resume. I was unable to convince the Director that in my role, I manage numbers and that the numbers are validated with various members of the organization, per the plannning process and cycle. I left my interview, knowing that I could perform the job, but I questioned why I was invited to interview?
I contacted the recruiter and informed her of the meeting events and my opinion on how the interview went. My subsequent followups (email and voice mail) with the recruiter were not answered. Three weeks later, I was notified by the Director of HR that I was no longer being considered for the position.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in City of London, England (United Kingdom) (took 1 week)
I applied at Chanel in London UK by calling directly one of their boutique that gave me the HR phone number (quite easily, was so surprised!). Over the phone, the HR deputy told that they were searching for an area Manager for East Anglia, the charming lady gave me her email address and I sent my CV. I was called 2 days later for an interview one week ahead. For the interview, I was asked to make a presentation about my future role within Chanel in other terms I was asked for a sort of business plan.
Besides, I have to complete online analytical and psychometric tests before the interview.
The day of the interview, the Deputy HR and National Account Manager were quite organised (even too organised, there were no room for any unexpected event). They were reading their questions one after the other, marking (I guess) my answers. The atmosphere was tensed but not unbearable. They were very nice but I didn’t really enjoy the Deputy HR making faces, I found it a little bit rude and even if I wasn’t the correct match she could wait a little bit to make her remarks.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in New York, NY (took a day)
Had initial interview with HR which went fabulous. Came back a couple of weeks later to speak with my would-be coworker and would-be boss. Both were loopy as hell, very distracted, kept giggling to eachother and explaining "Sorry we're so tired, ITS FRIDAY!" They described the role then cut the interview short. When asked if I had any questions I replied "Well, sure, why don't I tell you about myself..." They hadn't asked about my education, work history or relevant experience! I felt like I was in a bad, idiotic, judgmental sorority movie until I realized 1 of the women was overweight and the other was ugly with a lisp. Not that it matters but these ladies treated me like dirt.
