I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Foot Locker (Newark, DE) in Mar 2012
Interview
very basic, the manager will take you into the food court and interview you. Don't come in the interview looking like an average person. Girls where black pants and nice sneakers. Guys wear a button-up, tie is optional. Don't overkill it in a suit and tie. Remember your going to be working at a sneaker store, so WEAR NICE SNEAKERS
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work here?
Why should we chose you?
Tell me about a hard situation in your life and how did you overcome it?
hobbies?
Why are you looking for a job?
Are you saving up for anything?
I applied online and got a phone call a week later to do the in person interview. In person I had to visit the store and ask for the manager that contacted me.
The interview was quick and easy. They asked basic sales-related questions and just wanted to make sure you would be pleasant and helpful. No in-depth shoe knowledge is necessary. Not for you if you want to be a laid back sales person.

Question 1
How could you help a customer who is having trouble deciding what type of shoe they want?
It was 10-15 minutes. Went pretty easy. They asked about me random questions and then told me about the job. The interviewer was nice and told me not to worry and that it is just general things.
