Interviewed Oct 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 1+ week)
The group interview was very standard for retail positions. We talked the brands we like (are loyal to), a good customer service experience we've previously had, a time when we had to learn something new and how did that go, what makes people want to come back to a store. And we each had to sell an item we had with us, so I attempted to sell the coach bag I had with me to the store manager and she seemed very pleased with my brand knowledge. I found out I was hired and so was the other girl in the group with me, and we were the only ones showed up in the dress code specified by the manager when we handed in our resume in the store.

No, I put down an expected salary on the application form, which is a bit higher than the minimum wage here in Ontario and the manager said she will offer it to me right away.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed May 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
First step was to apply online through the company's website where you had to submit application and your resume.
Then, was the phone interview by a HR person, who would basically go through your personal stuff and nothing technical.
The last part was the 1-1 interview with the manager.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 1 week)
The interviewer was very friendly and her questions were pretty basic. Example, what's your work ethic? What's your background? Etc. There's a role play, you showed how you would sell to the customer. It was fun.

Interviewed May 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
HR person contacted me the day after I applied for the position. I was excited because my skills matched perfectly with the job description. I spoke with the HR rep she asked the usual questions about my background and scheduled an interview with the hiring manager. That same week I went in to meet with the HR rep and the hiring manager. Although Coach occupies two buildings, it's blatantly obvious they lack diversity. I thought to myself "strike 1" I knew I would really have to sell myself despite the odds visibly stacked against me. My interview with HR went well and I was off to meet the hiring manager. She seemed to think rather highly of herself like "I work for COACH and you are not on my level". I spent the entire interview pretty much "proving" that I have been in the industry for almost 3 years doing the exact work you are asking at two different retailers. I even had stellar letters of recommendations from people higher on the totem pole than her. I knew half way through she was not interested in giving me the job. Her questions, or the lack thereof, were simple in nature but I believe she had her mind made up fairly early into the interview as she explained her "concerns" with me.

Interviewed May 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I got a call from a recruiter who found my resume on one of the job websites. She thought I was a perfect match for the position. She sent my resume to the HR person at Coach, who invited me in for a 1:1 interview. The interview went well in my eyes, we connected well and I gave what I thought were great examples and great answers. The HR person seemed to give really good feedback and was very friendly and nice. Almost overly nice. I thought I'd at least get a second interview with the hiring manager. I was very surprised when the recruiter called me the following day with the news that they would not be going forward with me. The HR person gave very vague feedback and just said I seemed too nervous.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 3 days)
HR phone interview was the first step, which lasted approximately 45 minutes. After that, there was a second phone interview with the hiring manager, which lasted approximately an hour. If you succeeded past those 2 screenings, they either flew you in or invited you to a face-to-face interview at the NY HQ office. This took about 3 to 4 hours depending on how many people you meet. Usually you meet about 4 including HR. It is pretty intense. The culture there is very corporate but people are very smart. It is a great place to kick start your career.

Interviewed May 2011 in Little Rock, AR (took a day)
i found the interview to be one of the better ones i have had. im not saying this because i thought i did well, i really appreciated the questions asked. i have never been asked to explain my work ethic before, and i think a question like that is a good way to weed people out. the manager that i interviewed with was very honest about the type of buisness she likes to run. its a very sales orriented place. they want you to met your goals, and they give you lots of ways to get it done.
