I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Coach in Feb 2012
Interview
The interview process was simple enough. The retail workers complete a paper application which is picked up in one of the full price retail stores. I took the application home with me completed it and returned it to the store.
I was contacted within a week for a joint interview- this interview was with two store managers and two other applicants. It was role play of several scenarios we would encounter while you would be on floor selling. It was a good way to see how well you can think on your feet and if you know how to engage in conversation with complete strangers.
The next step consisted of a half hour phone interview with the district manager which took place several days later. I was contacted several hours after the interview with the DM by the store manager and an hour of employment was made and I accepted.

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.
