Interviewed Oct 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took a day)
The interview process was totally rinky-dink . . . i should have been tipped-off by the lack of in-depth questions and discussion. I was never asked about my extensive background in the industry or what my plan was for the future. I had one 15 minute interview and I was hired. Candidates should be wary of a hiring approach which is simply intended to bring warm bodies into play for a few months until they quit in total frustration and humiliation.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The hiring manager promised a "hourly training rate", which he did not honor. There was no negotiation whatsoever, only a double-cross on the part of the company regarding compensation/hourly rate. Unless you don't mind working like a slave, in a suit or sport coat, for "burger flipped wages", look elsewhere. You'd be only wasting your time because you'll not find advancement opportunities or sustaining income at Jos. A. Bank. Only a terrible sense of being taken advantage of and cloying feeling of senselessness in the job overall.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Arlington, VA (took a day)
I had a phone interview w/ them during the holiday season. Extremely simple. It consisted first of a phone interview. The interview basically went over my resume which was on the site and when i'd be available to meet in person. Then the in person interview was pretty simple again just going over the work duties.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 3 days)
the interview consisted of standard questions. part of the interview requires you to coordinate an outfit using a navy blazer. what ever you do, don't use navy pants. play it safe with either gray or kaki colored pants, blue or what shirt, red or gold tie. if you don't know what you're doing, just put down as many things as possible. this is a sales job after all.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
I walked into the store to tell them that I was interested in the position. They told me to go back and apply online, which I did. So I went back and filled out the lengthy online application they have. After I filled it out, within a few days I got a call from the manager to ask me to go in for an interview.
