I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Bolingbrook, IL) in Sep 2015
Interview
It was very relaxed. The questions were mostly about who I am as a person and where I stand with experience if I've had previous jobs. I applied in store and got an interview date same day. Came back and mostly had a fun conversation during my interview with the store manager. At the end of the interview, I did a quick evaluation on an iPad to show them what I'm like as a worker in the work field.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2019
Interview
It was a group interview and they took us into the stock room and we took turns answering super-simple questions. I got an interview because I applied near one of the annual hiring dates which is around the beginning of summer and thanksgiving season.

Interview
The interview takes place in a corner at the shop, it was fast and the questions were very reasonable, just some simple situation analysis and you are very probably asked to match an outfit at the end of the interview to prove your basic fashion sense.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Dallas, TX) in Jul 2018
Interview
The interview was good; the manager was really nice and understood that I was nervous. The interview was very natural and was kind of like a conversation. I made sure to try and be very open and more extroverted than I normally am sometimes. It was a good experience and practice since it was my first interview.
