I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Bethesda, MD) in Feb 2015
Interview
I was very nervous for my interview, but the hiring manager was supper friendly. He got to know me little first before interviewing me. It was a friend like conversation at first which eased my nerves. Then he began to ask me some retail related questions. After it was all done, I had to go back behind the register and take a personality test. All in all, it was better than what I expected.
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.
