I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Zara (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Submitted my application and resume online. Within 2 days I heard back from the HR/hiring personnel and was scheduled to come in for a meeting. The meeting was a group interview, we watched 2 videos that discussed the company and then worked on a partner exercise that accessed our problem-solving skills. After that, we had to listen to our partners background and their reason for wanting to work at Zara then present that information for your partner to the entire group. An hour after the interview I got a call back saying I got the job.
The manager was friendly. He was mostly asking questions about fashion and my customer service experience. I thought he was more interested in the fashion part of it though. So he would ask me about my personal style, how that was reflected on what I was wearing for the interview and to tell him how I keep up with different trends.

Interview
it was an open house group interview. very easy questions, no need to prepare. 15 people in one group. only two questions asked. seems they need a lot of people very urgently.
