I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sunglass Hut in Oct 2012
Interview
went in person with a resume and asked to speak to manager to see if they were hiring for seasonal positions, happened to be asking the manager. he took my resume and gave me a paper application and told me to fill it out and bring it back. took it and told me he would get back to me as soon as possible. received a call the following week to set up a 1 on 1 interview. most of the questions were pretty standard. "name a time you went above and beyond for a customer, why do you want to work for us, sell these sunglasses to me, etc. after the interview, was told to expect a call for a second interview with DM but never received it.

Question 1
describe a time you went above and beyond for a customer.
Asked about experience, situational questions (was there ever a time where), if I'm interested in fashion, and register skills. Then the second in person part was role playing approaching a customer, giving advice, and testing a little knowledge about sunglasses like shapes and color theory.

It really depends on your manager as there’s no specific set guidelines. Generally easy questions and basic questions regarding sales. I’ve helped my manager come up with scenarios on top of some easy basic questions.
