I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Journeys (Eatontown, NJ) in Jun 2009
Interview
First, the manager of the store pulled me aside to ask a few questions. The questions were really easy like "what would you do if you saw an employee steal?" and things like that. She also asked some personality questions like "if you could choose one animal to describe yourself, which would you choose?" and "Name 3 pros and 3 cons of yourself."
After the interview, I was immediately offered the job, and started working. I then had to do a little role-playing where the manager pretended she was a customer and I had to help her out.
Overall, the process was really easy. But my manager was really laid-back and young so that may had something to do with it.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Journeys
Interview
It was quick and easy. Applied and got a call back 2 days later asking me why I wanted to work there and my availability. Then set up an in person interview which took around 10 minutes.
Quick 30 minute conversation. Pretty straightforward. As long as you seem like you can talk to people and are responsible you’ll be fine. Since it’s entry level they didn’t ask too much about past work experience.
