I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2016
Interview
Interview lasted less than five minutes. The "hiring manager" went over the most dry and boring questions ever and showed no personal interest in getting to know a future employee. Manager showed a very disrespectful attitude by constantly looking away and avoiding eye contact as well as a very fake and misleading character that shows pure laziness and gives no real significance to their job. No questions were asked regarding any previous experience and knowledge about the business and any other useful, valuable assets that could greatly help the company develop further.

Interview
It was a group interview and they took us into the stock room and we took turns answering super-simple questions. I got an interview because I applied near one of the annual hiring dates which is around the beginning of summer and thanksgiving season.

Interview
The interview takes place in a corner at the shop, it was fast and the questions were very reasonable, just some simple situation analysis and you are very probably asked to match an outfit at the end of the interview to prove your basic fashion sense.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Dallas, TX) in July 2018
Interview
The interview was good; the manager was really nice and understood that I was nervous. The interview was very natural and was kind of like a conversation. I made sure to try and be very open and more extroverted than I normally am sometimes. It was a good experience and practice since it was my first interview.
