I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Buffalo Exchange (Philadelphia, PA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Three interview process. First interview I was asked about my past jobs, what job I liked best and why, good customer service experiences, bad customer service experiences, etc. Filled out a paper asking to check off adjectives I felt described me. They asked about my style and where I shop, how I learn about upcoming fashion, what trends I've noticed this year and how they differ from the previous year. Then they showed me pieces of clothing and asked if I would pass or buy them in if I were a buyer. The second interview I was asked to pick from the racks 3 pieces I though would sell fast, 3 I thought would sell slowly and 3 I thought would not sell and explain my choices. The third interview was a run down of the position and after they offered me the job I was asked to sit and read a huge manual.

Question 1
What do you see as recent fashion trends and what do you see as trends from last year that are no longer in style?
Fairly easy -- You get interviewed on the floor where there are shoppers around. If interview goes good you get pulled to the back where they ask if youu want to work with them

Question 1
What was a time you received constructive feedback?
Overall it was fine, pretty decent interview, but they interviewed me for the wrong job. I applied for cashier but they thought I applied to be a buyer, but it ended well.
