I was initially contacted for a phone interview. After my phone interview I had a interview on site with an HR manager, hiring manager, and production planner. I then had another interview with the department director. I applied in the middle of May and started at the beginning of July.

Question 1
Name a time where I faced a challenge and how did I overcome this?
There was one interviewer, who is also my future supervisor. We talked about the position, the company, and my past experiences, both educational and past interns/jobs It was more of a casual conversation.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at L Brands (New York, NY) in Mar 2011
Interview
Pretty casual and comfortable, standard questions, met with several interviewers in person after initial phone interview. My office is in SoHo in a loft, so the laid back fee of the office definitely added to the casual nature of the interview. It was obvious to myself and to the interviewers that I was an excellent fit for the role, so I felt confident I would receive the offer. The company often hires as contractor/consultant for 3 months and then offers the fulltime position if everything is going well. This was the case for me.
