I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Coach (Broomfield, CO) in Mar 2009
Interview
Turned in an application to the store in typical retail fashion; was called in for a one-on-one interview with the store manager about a week later and then called with an offer about a week after that. Stores also do group interviews for seasonal associates during the holidays. Management position applicants will go through a series of interviews with the store manager, district manager, etc.

Question 1
No surprises during the interview; pretty standard retail/customer service questions.
It was pretty relaxed, two interviewers, mostly spoke about my CV and Customer Service. Why I want to join the company and why luxury retail? I am still waiting to hear back from them. Had my interview last last week.

Question 1
How would you influence a customer to make a purchase
Pretty straight forward and nothing too intense. Great energy from the team as long as you are competent yet competitive.
It was a 2 step process for me after the phone call and they brought me in immediately.
