I applied in-person. I interviewed at Coach in Sep 2011
Interview
I interviewed with GM and associate manger at the same time. We all sat on the stockroom area, and they were very nice and friendly. They asked about my background, skills, customer service experience, clientele skills, fashion industry knowledge-who is my favorite designer and so on. Big plus if you speak other languages specially Chinese, or Japanese. Make sure to be compensated very well for your language skills!
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Coach (Springfield, MO) in Mar 2014
Interview
The first interview went very well. It was with the store manager and she asked typical interview questions such as why are you interested in working for this company etc. We spent an hour talking about sales and how as a sales associate at coach you had certain goals you were supposed to hit every day, week, month, and year. The second interview was with the district manager. The DM was very intense. Asked multipke questions and did not wait for a response. He argued every answer and never seemed satisfied. He tried to see how far he could push me to see where my breaking point was, but I held my own.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Coach in Nov 2014
Interview
I walked in and asked if they were hiring and if I could get an application. They handed me one and invited me to fill in out in the store. Upon completing my application, I handed it to a person (not sure if she was a manager or not). She immediately asked me if I would like to come back that night for a group interview. Of course I said yes.

Question 1
It wasn't a real difficult question, but we were all asked about how we keep up with the latest fashion trends. Another question asked was why we wanted to work for Coach.
