Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Edmonton, AB Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 15, 2013 New

Interview Details I was approached in the store and applied online. The interview was easy and the store manager is very friendly. The manager took us to a corner in the mall so we can talk. The interview was about 20 to 30 min. And I got a call for offering the job the next day. Very fast and effective.

Sales Associate (Model) at Abercrombie & Fitch

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Toronto, ON Dec 2011 – Reviewed Mar 04, 2013

Interview Details The interview process was pretty straightforward, if they approached you in store about being a model, then you're pretty much guaranteed the position as long as you don't come off as completely incompetent during the interview. The manager takes a group to a quiet part of the mall and asks question like "what does diversity mean to you?" and "why would you be a good fit at our store?".

Interview Question – "What does diversity mean to you?"   View Answer

Negotiation Details – There's no negotiation process. At a place like Abercrombie and Fitch where they hire at least one new employee every week and already has over 100 models in the system, they really don't give you a chance to negotiate.

Manager In Training (MIT) at Abercrombie & Fitch

No Offer – Interviewed in Toronto, ON Apr 2011 – Reviewed Nov 29, 2011

Interview Details My interview process was terrible! I was called to meet the manager in store, but wasn't told if it was a formal interview. I had prepared myself for an interview, showed up at 8:00 AM, only to have her read out the job description for me. She said I was perfect for the job, and they would call me THAT night to set up a formal interview. Two weeks later, I called back, explained that if they didn't think I was right for the position, I wouldn't take it personally. She reassured me that I WAS right for the position, and that they were very busy and would call me THE DAY after. It's been 5 months.. still waiting..

Impact Team Member at Abercrombie & Fitch

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Sep 2009 – Reviewed Sep 22, 2009

Interview Details You have to be friendly and open to all the other people going for the interview, and talk to them while the manager shows up. The manager takes about 30mins to 45mins to show up, late, of course, to the interview, and then asks five questions. They judge you on what you wear, and since the colours at A&F never change, they are always navy blue, white and grey. Never EVER wear black to A&F, you will NOT get the job.

Interview Question – What is diversity? Why is it important?
What seperates A&F from other companies in the mall?
What will you bring to A&F?
Tell me about a time when you had to work quickly and make no mistakes.
