I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Madison, WI) in May 2016
Interview
Applied at one of the AE standalone shops in Madison, WI. Got an interview the day after I turned in the application but was basically denied on the spot. I definitely do not feel like I fit the typical AE employee profile looks wise, and the manager asked questions about my glasses like "do you think you could wear contacts to work" that I felt were a little on the discriminatory side in terms of looks. I will definitely not be interviewing at AE again and will tell my friends to steer clear of this particular store as well when applying.
I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Bridgewater, NJ)
Interview
-pretty easy, went inside for an interview and they asked me about my experience. They then made me try on a bunch of clothes and taught me how to fold them.
I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Ridgeland, MS)
Interview
Easy interview with manager. We spoke outside about expectations. She was kind and understanding. I interviewed with a couple of people there too. Went over schedule etc. very straight forward and easy
I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (Columbia, MD)
Interview
It was very easy as I knew someone who worked there. They got me an interview and asked me basic questions. They verbally gave me an offer on the spot and I got a offical offer a week later.
