Interviewed Jul 2011 in Pearl City, HI (took 2 weeks)
The frequently advertise on Craigslist.org when they really need workers. Walked in and picked up an application. They do believe in you dressing for the job, so please, even if just picking up an application, dress professionally. After returning the application, I was called 4 days later by the assistant manager who asked me a couple of questions over the phone. She then scheduled me a one on one interview with the store manager. At this interview, she explained that they do seek sales experience and that you must be driven. Also need to be able to manage a high traffic environment. Because she really liked me, she gave me a couple of pointers for the next interview with the district manager. After meeting with her, they offered me the job on the spot.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 1+ week)
I was scheduled for an interview as I turned in my application.
First interview went great, ended up being over an hour only because the manager went into commission and training details.
Was immediately scheduled for a Secondary interview and was told "it's basically just so you can meet the store manager to make sure she likes you as much as I do."
Secondary interview was two days after my first. Also went over an hour for same reason. She told me it could be "up to two weeks before we decide, but then I'll be calling the one's we're hiring, so be expecting that."
Received my "offer call" three days after my secondary interview.

Negotiation Details
No negotiation, but she clearly explained the commission agreement.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 5 days)
I submitted an application and received a phone call and scheduled an interview. The interview lasted around 20-30 minutes and assessed mostly my personality, enthusiasm and charisma. I was then invited to observe a consultant while she worked. A day or two later I was contacted by the district manager to discuss my experience observing. The next day I received a call offering me the job.

Negotiation Details
There was none. I was instructed that as a part time associate I would receive federal minimum wage and that my commission eligible sales would be based on a sales earned divided by hours worked every 2 week pay period.

After applying on Monster I received a call to come in for a group interview. The group Interview was with 2 store managers & 6 other candidates inside the garment room. Asked to give brief background, general interview questions and to sell your outfit. Received a call shortly after I left to come and interview with the assistant manager. Offered the CSR job on the spot and asked to come back later that evening to start training.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Westbury, NY (took a day)
I was very nervous for the interview but I didn't need to be. The manager asked me basic questions when I met with her, she was friendly but serious. Questions included, "how did you hear about us?" "why should I hire you?" Most of the talking was done by her and it was morre like szhe was telling me about the store, showing me the dresses and the layout. She asked me about my sales skills, previous experiance, etc. She liked my answers I could tell because she told me that I'd be getting a phone call from the store manager. I recieved the call and spoke to this manager, who was very insistant that I do my best at the job. I was turned off by this, and recieved an offer elsewhere, so I took that one. The receptionist I think was very nice.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 2 days)
I called David's Bridal to see if they were hiring and was told that they were and were holding an open interview in a few days and told me the times. I showed up about an hour early to give myself plenty of time to fill out an application. I left to kill some time and came back at exactly 2:30, when they had me wait for almost 10 minutes for others to show up. There were three interviewees and two employees to interview us. I went in with the Bridal consultant position in mind, and it seemed that the other girls were there for customer service, which they had few hours open for. I was qualified for the bridal consultant position but because I had mentioned a weekend schedule conflict, they told me that I might be wasting my time. I stayed for more questions, saying that I was open to the customer service position as well, which was when they told us that there were about 10 hours/wk available (not enough for one person, let alone three). At this point I had given up hope until they asked "Why David's Bridal?". I told them that basically I love weddings and I love dresses - particularly sewing them, which was when they asked me how I felt about alterations. I had not considered starting in that position because all of my experience is self-taught and non-professional (more of a hobby at first but something I intend to go to school for soon). One woman escorted me out of the interview to get me a card of the (at that time, absent) Alterations manager for me to call the next day. I did so and scheduled a meeting for later that day. I showed her some of my work I've done for myself and she had me do a few sewing tests. After I finished, she asked for my DL and SS card, and we went to another room to fill out a form and make a phone call to some tax... thing. I haven't had many jobs so I was still under the impression that I was still only being considered for the position, not already in. I was asked after the tests and giving my cards if I was still interested and I answered positively. I found out that I was hired though the woman on the phone for the tax thing when she asked what the date of hire was, and I realized that they would not be having me make this call if I wasn't already hired or being hired. The women were very nice and polite and things happened very quickly but they could have been a little more organized and I would have liked to know what was going on and that I had gotten the job for sure without being told by someone outside the company. I am currently awaiting a phone call telling me when I can come in to begin training. This all started Monday, the open interview on Wednesday, and today is Friday.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
The ad posted clearly stated the position was for a Store Manager. But, the first thing the District Manager said in the in-person interview was that she was recruiting for an Assistant Manager. When I questioned this because the ad was for a Store Manager and not an Assistant, she was very vague and tried to brush it off. These kinds of interviews are a waste of time for both the candidate and the company. Had I known the position was not as advertised, of course I would not have even applied. My opinion is that David's Bridal is fraudulent in advertising for a Store Manager, and then only telling you it's for an Assistant when you're sitting there in person. The DM could have easily told me this on the phone when she initially called to arrange the in-person interview. It appears that David's Bridal is attempting to fill their Assistant positions with Store Manager-level skilled employees. I would never consider this company as a desirable place to work, so this is a warning to applicants who think they will be interviewing for a legitimate Store Manager position, when in actuality, it is for the lesser Assistant Manager position.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Riverside, CA (took 2 days)
Found the position via Craigslist, emailed the hiring manager and was given an interview time. Showed up about 5 minutes early, met the other people being interviewed. We were instructed to each introduce one of the other ladies in the group when we got to the interview room. There were 3 managers on the panel, and 4 of us being interviewed, not necessarily for the same position. It was a very relaxed atmosphere.
I was then called to come in to interview with the District Manager. Again, I interviewed with another applicant, and there were 2 managers on the interview panel. Still very relaxed, with basic questions.

First I was called to indicate that they were interested in me. I came in and I was interviewed they decided they liked me and wanted me to stay (the same day) for a second interview since there manager was just on lunch and would like to come back and sit down with me. Once that was complete I was called back and offered the job a couple of days later.
