I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Journeys (Kennesaw, GA) in Mar 2013
Interview
When I did I turned in my application, I was immediately asked by the Comanager if I was able to come in for an interview the next day.
I went to the first interview which was one on one. It was very relaxed and asked basic questions about myself.
Then I was called in for a second interview with the store manager a couple of days later,
this interview was a little more difficult than the first one. It was about selling experience and approaches that I have used in the past. The key to getting through this interview is the way you answer the questions and making sure that the stories and examples you use to answer the questions reflect your personality in a positive way.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Journeys
Interview
It was quick and easy. Applied and got a call back 2 days later asking me why I wanted to work there and my availability. Then set up an in person interview which took around 10 minutes.
Quick 30 minute conversation. Pretty straightforward. As long as you seem like you can talk to people and are responsible you’ll be fine. Since it’s entry level they didn’t ask too much about past work experience.
