I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at francesca's (Gaithersburg, MD)
Interview
Applied online and heard back withing a couple days and was asked to come in for an interview the next day. The interview was quite causal with the manager but make sure to look nice because this store puts a lot of value on appearance. Usual interview questions about past sales experience etc. About two hours after my interview I got a call from the manager to schedule a phone interview with the district manager. Again relatively casual in that she was friendly and seemed fine with the fact that I wasn't perfect in all of my answers. Two days later I received a call offering me the job and I told them that there was also another job I was considering and she asked me to give her a final answer by the next day. When I called back the next day to accept the job they had chosen another applicant

I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at francesca's in Apr 2012
Interview
The interview process was very low-key. I met with the Assistant Manager at the Boutique, where we had a conversation about my selling process, my strengths and weaknesses, times that I've had to deal with negative situations. I wasn't required to create any outfits to show my personal style, instead we talked about style and what I thought about clothing. The Assistant Manager and I really clicked during the interview process, and ended up talking about a lot of things unrelated to the job, which was a nice why to determine if our personalities meshed. Overall, it wasn't stressful, and was a relaxed interview.
