Interviewed Mar 2011 in Memphis, TN (took 3 weeks)
I lived across the country when I applied and interviewed for this position. I first did a phone interview with the store manager of another store in the same market, then I did a second phone interview with the district manager in training. After those two interviews, I did a phone interview with the district manager. His interview was a tough one so you really need to be able to talk about business results from previous positions. After I interviewed with him, I didn't feel comfortable about the interview so I sent him followup email expressing my desires for the position and how I would be a good fit for the company. This worked, so my next interview was a face to face interview at my local store with a tenured store manager. Finally my last interview was with the regional HR manager.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 3 weeks)
First interview was with the current Store manger. That went well and we both looked forward to working together. She then submitted her thoughts to the District Mngr. She did eventually make it to the area and I was given an interview with her. Following this interview I was offered the position of Co-Manager.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Bellevue, WA (took 2 weeks)
I submitted a resume online and was contacted by recruiter later for a phone interview. The phone interview was pretty standard. No trick questions just why you want to work for the company. Next I interviewed with a Senior Merchandiser, a Director, two Merchandisers, and an Assistant Merchandiser. They interview was about 2.5 hours long. Everyone was very nice and I was very excited about the position and team. The next step was meeting with a VP, Senior VP, and then CEO. I think I didn't do that well at this second round of interviews because I was nervous meeting all these important people.
Two months after my last interview, I learned that the company underwent a reorg and the position that I applied for was eliminated. I was very disappointed because I really liked everyone.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Columbus, OH (took a day)
It was a 3 step process, but decided they weren't going to hire until after the holidays. The first interview was a one on one interview. It mostly consisted of basic questions and stepping out onto the sales floor.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 3 days)
When I interviewed with the District Director she was very EDDIE BAUER ALL THE WAY. I thought that was great. She wanted to know mainly what type of training I had in leadership at my other job. I basically told her I had minimal but was definitely a Learner. Asked various questions about my past jobs. What I liked about it, and why. What I didn't like about it, and why. She asked me why I was considering leaving my current job for this one. I told her because I was looking for greater opportunities (as being an Assistant Manager was a promotion from the Floor Supervisor I had at my other job [Calvin Klein]) Also asked if I was chosen what my first plan of action would be for the store and what I thought the store was lacking. To be honest, it was kind of intimidating but I pulled through and am now employed by Eddie Bauer. :)
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I did not negotiate. I took it immediately. Was offered 30k a year. The job I was leaving was paying me appx. 21500. It would have been hard to negotiate none-the-less as the Store Manager took the typical approach of "Well, I talked to my boss and this is what I am allowed to offer...." Lol anyway. I should have negotiated! lol
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Plano, TX (took 2 days)
I was asked why I wanted to work there and what I would bring. It was more behaviorial based, so one of the questions was, tell me about a time when you were persuasive. Above all, displaying a positive attitude and a willingness to learn about the Eddie Bauer brand proved to be important. I communicated this and it was well-received by the interviewer.

Negotiation Details
An offer of $8.25/hour is not bad for a part-time, flexible retail job.
