I applied in-person. I interviewed at francesca's in Mar 2013
Interview
Had my first interview with the Store Manager that went well. Got a call from the Area Manager for a second interview that also went well. After almost three weeks of not hearing from anyone, I called the Area Manager to ask about any information on the position. I was told that she would be talking to her District Manager that very afternoon and that she would get back to me before 5p that day. Two days later got an email saying they were moving forward with another candidate.
The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at francesca's in Sep 2011
Interview
Met with the store manager one week and the district and regional manager the next. Sat down and discussed my resume and background experience. The store manager was great but I found that the regional and district manager were not really that intelligent by just sitting with them. It was rather annoying.
