Interviewed Oct 2009 in Costa Mesa, CA (took a day)
I applied on line, and I received a email for a interview one week later. The interview was 1:1 and the questions was all about how I would act in some situations. The manager asked me to sell my own outfit to him, asked me what is a good customer service and at the end offered me a job.

Interviewed May 2008 in Salem, OR (took a day)
I only had one interview and it was fairly easy and quick which was surprising for a big company. I was called for an interview, I wasn't really given a choice when to come in. There were two other girls when I got there but it was one on one. When it was my turn. I was just asked some basic questions and few I wasn't expecting so I had to come up with something fairly quick. Then the interviewer which became my supervisor asked me a random question about who I thought would win american idol. Okay? Kind of strange but alrighty. It only took about 10-15 minutes and then she said she would give me a call within the next few days. I got a call saying I got the job and I had to come in to fill out papers and fill out information on a computer which actually took a while. Then I had to come in again with the two other girls that got hired for orientation which was very long and some what confusing. We only got one day of training too and then we were on are own. Wow.

Negotiation Details
I didn't negotiate anything. This was my first job so I couldn't really do much. Make sure to ask exactly what it is that you will be doing on the job because they do tell at all unless you say something.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 weeks)
I applied online they emailed a week later, then called me about scheduling an interview. I was out of the country so we schedules a phone interview. It was pretty brief they asked me why I wanted to work there, what some of my best talents and skills were, some strengths and weaknesses, if I work well with others and an example of when I have done so, and what is my best achievement/most proud of so far in life. They said they would call me back soon about it.
