I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Abercrombie & Fitch (San Diego, CA) in Aug 2009
Interview
Recruitment for any store position with Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister is done through recruitment. Requirements for landing the job are brand positive appearance (one needs to be physically attractive) and a college degree from a 4-year school (bachelor's degree).
Interview was conducted in a very traditional 1:1 manner where the interviewer started out by describing the company's philosophy, policies, practices, and it's position in the general retail industry. Business related facts were accurate but descriptions of the company, including salary figures, opportunities for promotion, and training/skill development after hire were GREATLY exaggerated.
The work culture is not what it is made out to be. The first time it even comes close to worth your time being employed by this company is when you reach the store manager position (arguably even the next level, district manager). As an assistant manager one is exploited, under-paid, and unappreciated. This implicit corporate atmosphere is perpetuated by advancement-from-within-only practices.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Abercrombie & Fitch
Interview
It is a very short interview. It is in the front of the store and they ask you questions and write down your answers on a piece of paper with clipboard. They seem to want people who look the role. I feel like they might discriminate based on your appearance and gender (if you are a male).
