I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Coach (Austin, TX)
Interview
The company prefers to do group interviews so it may be some time between dropping off an application/resume and hearing from a manager. Usually they will do a small impromptu interview with you when you drop your application off. This is to see how you well you communicate, and to see your fashion sense. Depending on how quickly they need new associates you will hear back from some one within a few days to possibly two weeks. After being offered the position you will go through 1-2 weeks of training, once again depending on the need for employees. Seasonal training is much faster than any other time period.

You will most likely be asked to sell an item to the interviewer. This may happen as early as when you drop off your application.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Coach (Vancouver, BC) in Dec 2011
Interview
I had a very positive experience with interview for sales assosiate position at Coach, Vancouver, BC. The maneger contacted me within a week after applying online.
We had a nice talk outside of the store, right at the mall.
All questions were pretty straight forward and easy.
-Tell us about your sales experience?
-What are your goals?
-How do you communicate with people from different cultures?
I did not get a job though. I guess it's because here on a west coast they preffer hiring asian girls as the asian market is huge.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Coach (Wrentham, MA)
Interview
Very simple hiring and interview process. I went in for a day of shopping, was offered an application, filled out said application, and was called back in for an interview. After I was critiqued for not wearing the typical "black and white" (I had one a red heels with my black and white outfit) as the dress code called for, I was asked a few questions about school (I was in high school at the time) and that was that. I was called back two days later and asked to come in for training two days later.
