I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at L.L. Bean (Boston, MA) in Nov 2012
Interview
The interview process was with one of the managers. It was during the holiday season, their busiest time of year, so they were hiring many seasonal employees. It was a very comfortable interview, and more conversational about past retail experience and upcoming availability. One other person was interviewed with me, it did not feel competitive, and we were both offered the job.

Group interview setting. It wasn't very stressful and it was nice to base your answers on what others are saying. Be prepared to talk about how you align with the company's values of getting outdoors as well as any previous customer service experience you bring to the table.
