I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Brookstone (The Woodlands, TX) in Sep 2016
Interview
the Brookstone interview process for entry-level sales associates generally consists of a one-on-one question and answer session with a store manager. Before the interview, learn as much as possible about the company. Expect to answer, "What do you know about Brookstone?" The retail chain may also ask prospective employees random questions about merchandise as well as general inquiries into retail sales, product stocking, and customer service, such as: "How do you deal with upset or challenging customers?" Prepare comprehensive, thoughtful answers for every interview question. Engaging and personable individuals perform best during the hiring process, overall, especially for positions heavily involved in customer service.
Took 2 weeks. Was called in to interview and had to do 2 different interviews one with the head manager and one with the assistant manager. There was also a short phone call with the district manager.

Interview
Easy. Simple, just looking for honesty. Biggest thing is professional appearance, and having the right answers for the questions that are asked, based off of sales experience, and prior work history. They will do the homework to see if you are who you are.
