I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Converse (Las Vegas, NV) in Jun 2016
Interview
Basic interview questions, sit down one to one with the assistant manager, very chill and and laid back experience. I didn't feel nervous at all, it felt like I was talking to a friend. Very cool people
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to work with a team to achieve a goal?
Applied online, and called in the store for a follow up about three days after applying.
Luckily I spoke to the manager who said he was going to go through applications the next day but since I was already on the phone with him, he told me to come in the next Monday for an interview.
It's a group interview and it's whoever wants to answer first and everyone has to answer the questions. There were only four questions, all situational, and one being the "manager's most important question".
After the interview, he asked if we had any questions. One obviously being when do we get contacted back, and I guess the manager for the store I was applying to says that he will call those that got the job later that night. So if you don't get called, don't even bother.

Question 1
Describe a time when you started a conversation with a stranger.
I applied online. I interviewed at Converse (Saint Augustine, FL) in Jun 2015
Interview
Group interview in the back of the store with four other potential employees, all in their late teens or early twenties. We were interviewed by the store manager and another manager, answering their questions one at a time as they took notes. The dudes on each end of the semicircle of interviewees had it worst off, because they were the ones asked the questions either first (no time to think) or last (have to follow-up others' answers).
It was pretty apparent that some of the interviewees had never been in an interview. Advice: look up, speak clearly, don't ask about discounts (it's 40%, you're welcome), and smile. Make sure you're answering the questions they're asking; it was boggling how the interviewers would ask for specific answers and people would respond in generalities. Also, blatant pandering doesn't get you anywhere.
