The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Forever 21 in Mar 2012

Talk a lot and be friendly and have the most availibility...even if you don't have experience you have a good chance of getting in. Stay trendy and up to date with current trends and fashion there may be a few questions on those and make sure you speak the most and stand out, ask questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your inspiration for the fashion you're into?
It was an in-person interview. It was very easy, and a standard retail interview. lasted around 10 minutes. The manager asked some scenario questions but overall, the questions were pretty straightforward.
It was a casual group interview. I sat down with a manager and another girl who was applying. They just asked a few standard questions about us and our experience.
Interviewer did not seem very experienced. He was rushing the interview and only asked general questions such as where do you see yourself in 10 years… for an entry level job.
