Dress really preppy and if you can, act gay. Actually, just kidding, i would just treat it like any other interview and make sure that you come across as outgoing and friendly so they would think that you could deal with customers really well.

dress as homosexual as possible and you'll probably get a job, especially if you can fake a lisp

fuck the haters.

Definatley give a firm handshake, and be really straight forward, and talk clearly, don't be wishy washy on any questions, and don't answer questions with "yes" "no" even if it is a yes or no question, add a couple words in there. also don't just be boring when you talk be kinda animated like tv reporters, and yea ok thats enough

just think, if you were hiring somebody, what sort of questions would you ask them, and how would you want them to present themselves. the main thing is confidence.

I worked there. It's about as normal as you can get, NOT preppy at all. Not sure how you guys say it's soooo preppy, just look at polo and lacoste and such. My interview was a few questions and then the guy had me go get a girls number. It was funny, but I got the job.

I'm wearing abercrombie jeans and a jcrew shirt. I don't think they care as long as you look good though. I mean unless they check your tags.

No its a really casual group interview with approximately 7 other people. A person who works there told me to wear "trendy" clothing.

cuz abercrombie, hollister, and american eagle are all owned by the same company... so why would it matter if your wearing shit that is basically all the same design/?

I work at aeropostale, worst fuckin job of my life. My friend works at ae, she said its pretty chill. They are real strict though about giving you discounts and shit, like you have to write down your sizes and you can only buy clothes in those sizes.

i don't know... but any job that requires you to dress trendy sounds pretty lame to me. not to mention the horrendous music they play and those headsets... man... if that store is in a mall i would suggest you apply elsewhere. like fye or a toystore.

jesus. not american eagle. it's just sad there. but i suppose if you want to work there: don't be shy, when they ask a question, try to be the first or second to respond to every question without getting annoying. if they ask about retail experience say you are very trainable unless you have had retail experience, then you're in the know. make eye contact and be polite to all the other interviewees, and go stoned as fuck

wtf? maybe people have worked there before?

yah i probably didn't get the job. I was all hyped up on energy drink and was really nervous so I just made a fool out of myself. Basically what I wore didn't even matter, just if you answered questions with some wit and outgoingness. I was nervous because there was like 8 other people.

You don't really have to know anything to work there, people just buy what they see on the commercials.

Lol, You have to dress "trendy" I guess im not "trendy" enough. Whats the trend these days anyway, isnt emo or sumthin. Just go with the tight collared shirt in some obnoxious color and some jeans with holes on your ass. Mosdef trendy

I'm not really a the type who gets into clothing trends, I just wear what I like. If dressing trendy means getting me a job though, I have no problem with it.

Pretty much you got it though.
