Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 1+ week)
It started with a phone interview with a person from their corporate office. She was lovely to talk to, explained a lot of the position and was very honest with me about where they wanted to go with the store. I was told to contact the regional manager to set up a one on one interview. When I finally met with her, about a week later, she seemed to have very little information about the new store. She wasn't super personable and seemed less than interested in meeting with me. The kicker for me was that this is a store that pushes creativity and crafts on their customers and employees. It turns out that everything is "as corporate wants it" . The layout of the stores, color schemes and presentations aren't actually creative or thought up by the employees. False sense of creativity.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Princeton, NJ (took 1 week)
I submitted an application online through Craigslist. After a couple of emails back and forth I secured a phone interview and then a 1 on 1 interview with the Hiring Manager who flew in from Chicago to do interviews. I was selected to move on to interviews with the Regional Manager and COO back to back on another day. (They also flew in for their interviews.) I received an offer very shortly therafter. Be sure to dress creative bussiness casual for your interview. Take samples or photos of your recent creative works to the interview. Take creative license with your resume and cover letter to get their attention and secure an interview.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 1 week)
Had a phone screening appointment scheduled by an admin assistant with a corporate recruiter, who had to keep repeating that the appt. was a certain time CENTRAL time. It would be also to acknowledge the candidates time zone as well in confirming a date and time.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2+ weeks)
I interviewed for the job and all went great - they said they really wanted to find a place for me in the company, but the position I applied for was being filled by an internal applicant - would I be willing to try another store/position? I said yes and interviewed with 2 more people, both of whom said exactly what I'd been told before. I'm not sure if this company is incredibly unorganized or if it's just how non-confrontational women do business.
