Application
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at New York & Company (Bronx, NY) in Jul 2012
Interview
I approached an Associate Manager one day to request an application. She gave me one, indicated that I should attach a resume and return on Friday when the General Manager would be there. She then put in a good word for me and I came in to see the General Manager. She set up an interview with me for 2pm on Saturday. During that interview I explained why I wanted the job, what my plans were for that year, and my former experience. The SSL explained a bit about the company, dress code, and what my expectations would be. Then she offered me the job and I accepted.
Interview was extremely basic. Questions were asked such as 'Name a time in which you experienced great customer service' or 'What would you do in this situation (saw someone stealing from the store, unruly customers, etc.)' It was a group interview as well, so be prepared in case you have to go against any other interviewees.

Interview
I had to fill out an application and it took them about two to three weeks to call me about an interview. There was one interview and after it they called to see when I could go in to fill out paperwork and when I could start my training. They also do a background check.

Question 1
They asked me to talk about myself which I found to be difficult.
I filled out an application, got a phone call, came in and met with the manager. She asked a few questions and I was offered the job. I took it ad I did not like the job I was offered at another store.
