Assistant Merchant Trainee at Lands' End
No Offer – Interviewed in Apr 2013 – Reviewed Apr 9, 2013
Interview Details – I went to school's career fair last year and gave my resume to one of the recruiter from Lands' end. That time they only provided internship position so that I didn't get any chance. Last month I received an email from Lands' end and they told me to send them my current resume and cover letter for Assistant Merchant Trainee position, I sent back very quickly and then after several days they arranged phone interview with me. I'm still waiting for the response.
Interview Question – Phone interview only last 15 minutes, I guess I didn't do well...But the questions are very basic just about your thoughts of retail industry and your school work related to this position and why you think Lands' End is good for you and what makes Lands' end stand out among other competitors.

Merchdising Intern at Lands' End
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Dodgeville, WI Apr 2012 – Reviewed May 29, 2012
Interview Details – I spent the day interviewing with 5 separate people - 3 in the merchandising department and 2 within employee services. All of them were incredibly friendly and personable. The corporate headquarters are fresh, bright, and open, and everything comes together to reflect how the culture is. They focused their questions on me as a person, things I like to do, where I get my inspiration from, how I analyze things. It was very low pressure, they wanted me to feel comfortable. No surprise questions to put you on the spot. They'd like to see if you are behaviorally a good fit for the company.

Business Systems Specialist at Lands' End
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Dodgeville, WI Dec 2009 – Reviewed May 1, 2011
Interview Details – The hiring process was typical to other companies. I interviewed with two directors, 2 managers and 2 employees. I would suggest researching the company in depth and having examples of the projects and problems you worked on in the past. Know what you have to bring to the table and communicate how you would fit well into the team. The company has a lot of great history, so research this and be able to speak to it.
Interview Question – Explain your experiences with utilizing use cases. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I would really understand what your worth is in the marketplace and always negotiate either salary or vacation. Vacation is usually an easier thing to negotiate.

Assistant Designer at Lands' End
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Dodgeville, WI Nov 2007 – Reviewed Nov 16, 2009
Interview Details – I had one phone interview, with mainly personality and background questions. I recieved an onsite interview about 2 weeks later. I interviewed with 5 designers from multiple catagories one on one. This gave me the opportunity to present to each person. about 3 weeks after my interview, I recieved an second onsite interview. This one was with the Design Director, and again it was presenting my portfolio. I recieved an offer a few weeks later. For the most part, people seemed nice . I learned the life/work balance was not a reality once I started to work for the company.

Director, Digital Marketing at Lands' End
No Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2011 – Reviewed Jul 25, 2011
Interview Details – Applied online and was contacted by HR and phone screened. Set up a call with the hiring manager. Total disaster. We were not on the same page, knew it was a bad fit when she asked the question "what is your favorite part of digital"? Clear indication that there is a VP who is invested in the catalogue and is fighting the war. When I tried to formulate an answer, I was rudely interupted that I was not answering her question and we ended the interview.
