Interviewed May 2012 in Oklahoma City, OK (took 4 days)
Like everyone said, as soon as I completed the personality assessment online, I got an automated email saying they would like to interview me and gave me a number to call. It was late so I decided I'd call the next day. I got a call from the manager the next day before I could call them. He asked if anyone had been in touch with me yet and wanted to set an interview with me the following Tuesday at 11am. I said that sounded great so that was that.
On Tuesday, I wore a pair of Miss Me jeans (no holes, dark wash), Sperry's, and a white tank undershirt to layer with my nice sequined Crash & Burn shirt (which is also a brand they carry), and I accessorized with a small belt on top of my shirts around my hips, a gold trendy necklace, small gold bangles around my wrists, and hip red knit earrings. I thought I looked Buckle enough.
Well, I got there right at 11am on that Tuesday and the sales associates let the manager know I'm there. They told me to just look around for a few mins. I used that time to make small talk with one of the associates and be friendly, but also to shop around looking at nice shirts. The manager came out and didn't aknowledge me until they told him that I'm here for the interview. Then he took me to the back of the store by the clearance area. He seemed sort of distracted while I was talking and looked elsewhere every so often like he was bored with me.Rude.It lasted 15 minutes and he told me I would get an email within 48 hours saying what the next step is. Since I spent a few days on this site, I know that means I didn't get the job, which bummed me out. I admit I let my nerves interfere a bit, I blanked out on a word once and I sort of stumbled around words but he understood. Oh well, I have an interview with Hollister on Friday!
PS: The store associates were diverse: Asian, African American, White.

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 2 days)
I applied online and then received an email, telling me to call Buckle to schedule an interview. I called and then had an interview set up the next day. I wear mostly buckle clothes anyways, so I really wasn't worried about how I was dressed (if you don't wear buckle clothes, don't even bother applying there). I got there 5-minutes early, talked to someone and they said "okay give me a minute." So I just looked around; from what other reviews say, I think they were just judging me to see if I would go and look at clothes or talk to any of the other employees there, which I did. 10 minutes later, the same women who I talked to gave me the interview, I didn't know what her job title was but I'm assuming she was an assistant manager. The interview was literally like 5-minutes with basic interview questions. Overall, she was nice to me, and said that she would "shoot me up with and email in about 48hrs" to see if I got the job or not; if they say that, then you don't have the job because nobody sends and email to hire someone. But the only reason I didn't get the job is because I have no job experience what so ever, and they were looking for more experienced people, which I understand. Oh well, it was a good interview experience!

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Pueblo, CO (took 2 days)
She did the interview on the floor in front of all the shoppers. She seemed very uninterested and dismissive and told me immediately that she would "keep my record on file." Later on, a friend of mine heard from the interviewer that I was not attractive enough to work for the buckle.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Denver, CO (took 3 days)
The interview was very informal. We stood behind a rack as I was asked questions mostly about leadership skills and experience and how my previous work experience would relate to the job I was applying for. I did not have any previous retail experience nor any serious leadership experience, nor do I have a very bubbly personality (cheerleader type), so I probably was seen as not a good match for their company and was not hired.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
like everyone else i applied online, received an email saying to call to set up an interview and had the interview the next day.
- expect to wait around cause management never seems prepared (this isnt just my personal experience but from friends as well)
-expect to stand ON the sales floor
- the manager took a look at my resume and seemed not to care with the interview after that point
- she only asked a couple questions: tell me about yourself, what did you do in your past job, and why do you want to work here
- as i answered she showed little to no interest in anything i had to say
overall, i felt like the girl just judged me from my overall appearance and experience. i am more than qualified as i was once an assistant in a retail store for over 3 years. sorry i didnt show up in jeans. i dressed business casual with grey slack and a printed with a cardigan over. and black flats.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
The interview took place at the back of the store. The questions were easy enough, but I was not providing the answers I should have been offering... I know the last thing she wanted me to do was talk about my research and school and books. Sorry? I'm just in the mode right now where I'm applying for part time jobs while I'm home for winter break and not taking it very seriously because I am also applying and interviewing for much more important real-world careers that I am trying to land after I graduate this June. But overall and honestly, the interviewer made me definitely not want to work there. If her employees were anything like her, I'm ecstatic I did not get the job.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
They conduct all job interviews on the sales floor. They like you to dress casual and in their clothes even though they do not tell you that. If you are a young man or woman, and you already wear there clothes that will be a big plus. They are big on denim and you need to be wearing there jeans as well as select a style of clothing they offer. If you are a guy and you like Roar, then wear a Roar shirt. For girls, wear a lot of layers. The girls there wear a lot of accessories. From experience, they like to hire attractive people. It is a fast paced enviornment and I would suggest that before you consider working there that you have some retail experience in a fast paced enviornment and a clothing store will help. They say they work as a team but its sales and there are those there that simply are out for themselves and they will try and stick you with a client they know is not going to spend money. If they like you all is well, but if you do not fit into there culture within a few days of work you can expect to probably be shown the door.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Lawton, OK (took 2 days)
Basically got a conformation in e-mail and it told me to schedule an appointement . Did so. They're too picky. If you dont dress how they doo its instant not hired. oh and it sends you a conformation before your interview that they dont want you. ;)

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
I applied online, and they responded on line to call and set up an interview. I was set up to interview the next day. I talked first to a management trainee and then to the person in charge of hiring. Interview questions were basic (why do you want to work at buckle, what hours can you work, etc.). They said they would contact me within 2 days via email of their decision.
