I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (New York, NY) in May 2013
Interview
They prefer if you ask for an application in store, so I filled it out and returned it that day. They asked me a couple questions on the spot and then set up a time for my interview. They typically do group interviews at the start. Then sometimes may get asked for a personal interview as well.

Did the interview right in front of the store, but it was chill, the lady was nice. She started with basic questions, then went to scenarios. After it was just over and she said she'd give a call.
