The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Abercrombie & Fitch (London, England) in Aug 2009
Interview
First I had a group interview, which consisted of a short series of questions such as why I was interested in abercrombie and fitch, why the position, what my hobbies were, what I knew about the company and what languages I spoke. They give you a big intro about the company so make notes, I didn't and it showed. Everyone got asked these in turn so try to think of fresh answers or get yourself noticed. I advice to smile plenty.
I got called back the next day for the interview with the general manager.This was more thorough and was broken into three stages. First, they gave me more information about the job. Secondly, Questions from a booklet. There were quite a few of them, so I can't remember all, but included, tell me about a time you had more than one deadline and how did you prioritise tasks. When you had to persue an idea when others didn't. Any leadership positions I've held. Other aspirations I had and why. And a difficult one I thought: the difference between leadership and management. The third part consisted of going through my CV, so work experiences and which I thought was the most useful and rewarding. Then going through my hobbies section. Overall, it took around 1hour. I was a bit annoyed because towards the end people kept coming into the room. Also he spends all of the time writing what you say, so it can be off putting.
I passed to the next round and I'm waiting to do my third interview with the district manager. Good Luck!

Interview
The interview process took 3 rounds, first speaking with the Store Manager, then the General Manager and finally the District Manager.
I had a pleasant experience during the interview process in the first 2 rounds. The interactions with GM in particular were great, with him assisting me to follow up on the application process throughout and he was very friendly. Initial interview was a group-type interview, with me and another candidate taking turns to answer the same questions which were read out from an interview form.
The final interview was not as pleasant. I was kept waiting for a substantial period of time (around 30 mins or more). Throughout the interview, there was also a lack of eye contact and attention given to the candidate. Interviewer offered an explanation that it was due to typing down the information, but it still felt inappropriate and disrespectful to the applicant.
Despite the role being a Manager-in-Training position that I understood to allow cross-industry transition with relevant training provided, the last interviewer focused mainly on my lack of experience in the retail industry as a potentially disqualifying factor.
Toward the end of the interview, I was asked if I would consider working as a Part-time Sales Associate as an alternative, which I understood to be an hourly-rated part-time role. I felt this question was inappropriate as it was irrelevant to the type of role I had applied for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would you be willing to consider taking on a role as a Part-time Sales Associate?
The interview was pretty relaxing and it was group interview that everyone talked about their feelings about one question. Then they will check about your working situation and give you answers about some time.
