I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Forever 21 (San Diego, CA) in June 2010
Interview
I turned in an application in the store. A week later they called me for an interview. You wait in front of the cashiers for a bit. I was not told it was a group interview, there were 4 other girls being interviewed with me. They ask you pretty standard interview questions. They want to know you have a bubbly personality.
It was an in-person interview. It was very easy, and a standard retail interview. lasted around 10 minutes. The manager asked some scenario questions but overall, the questions were pretty straightforward.
It was a casual group interview. I sat down with a manager and another girl who was applying. They just asked a few standard questions about us and our experience.
Interviewer did not seem very experienced. He was rushing the interview and only asked general questions such as where do you see yourself in 10 years… for an entry level job.
