Interviewed May 2012 in Plano, TX (took a day)
It was super laid back. I wore a teal wife-beater tucked into a white cotton skirt with a ribbon belt (both from hollister). I showed up 15 minutes early and just let the girl at the front know that I was here for an interview. She told me to have a seat on the couches and someone would be with me shortly. A girl (didn't know her position) came to me and sat that the manager would be out soon, but after like 2 minutes other girls there for the interview trickled in. I tried to get to know the girls on the couches, so that by the time the interview rolled around it would be a casual atmosphere among all of us instead of nervous and uncomfortable.
The manager came and introduced herself, and we all walked to a group of seats a couple of feet outside of the store. She had us introduce ourselves, like name, where we went to school and the position you are applying for. There were about 7 people in my group (she said it was a big group so this probably isn't typical) and 5 people were applying for impactor while myself and one other girl was applying for model. Each position had its own set of questions. For model I got questions like:
1) what is a situation in which you put someone at ease?
2) what is diversity and do you think it is important?
3) how would you describe the gilly hicks style?
4) how would your friends describe you?
The impactor people got questions like:
1) what is teamwork and is it important in the workplace?
2) how would you get to know other employees?
3) what is diversity and do you think it is important?
After the questions, she went over the look policy:
No eyeliner, natural looking makeup, natural looking hairstyles (your hair should be free flowing, no excessive hairspray usage etc.), only one set of piercings allowed in your ears (an issue for me because I have 8 total in my ears =\) no nail polish
A girl showed up wearing a red lace top over a black tank top and jeans, with these HUGE wedge sandals. She also had a ton of eyeliner on. I would guess that she probably didn't get the job. =\
DON'T ask about salary pay at the interview, one girl did and it was really awkward
DO wear GH clothes or at least A&F or Hollister
DO come in look policy, it helps them invision you as an employee in their store right off the bat
DO shake the interviewers hand at the end, and thank them for the interview. Even though its a laid back interview, it shows professionalism and respect. I was the only one that did at my interview, and it was obvious it left a lasting impression on her.
DO be friendly with the other girls going through the interview process. It just helps you look social and outgoing. They aren't going to hire the shy, quiet girl as far as I can tell. (they also probably won't hire the girl that won't talk to their "job competition")
I interviewed on a Tuesday, and Saturday afternoon I got a call saying they would like to extend the job position out to me. I go in Wednesday to do paperwork and take a picture!
I'm so excited so good luck to everyone!

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Honolulu, HI (took a day)
Pretty relaxed. We sat on the ground in the shade. The question that matters the most is what you think diversity means. Other than that it was pretty chill. I don't think they really take account of your answers as long as you seem interested in the job and you're not a moron/attitude-filled-child.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)
Signed up for interview online (i was recruited in the store previously and was given a link/password to fill out application online and pick interview date) Interview was pretty easy. You are interviewed in a group. Everyone is asked the same questions. I think hiring is based a lot on looks ("Abercrombie" look - navy blue tank top, dark skinny jeans, brown flip flops)

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Glendale, CA (took a day)
Signed up for interview at the in-store kiosk.
Received phone call from Gilly Hick's management about group interview that Friday
Went to group interview with about 15 other girls, mostly in school
Asked questions about previous work experience, meaning of teamwork, and workplace policies.
Dress in "Abercrombie" type clothes...Jeans and a cute top are perfectly acceptable as this is a more laid-back casual store and atmosphere.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Lake Grove, NY (took a day)
I went in for the interview and showed up a couple minutes early. There were two other girls interviewing with me and a manager and MIT lead us to the "porch" in front of the store. Overall it was really laid back and they were both nice, I just wore a bodysuit with shorts and a button up over it and the other girls wore jeans and plain shirts and yoga pants. They asked me separate questions from the other two girls who were there for the model position. It lasted maybe 20 minutes or so and they said they would get back to us within a week. It's only been a day so hopefully they call me back, but I'm pretty sure they will because not many people are applying for the position I applied for.
