First round interview is done in two parts, one with a Merchant, one with a HR person -- the interview with the merchant includes a lot of questions about style, where you get your style inspiration, where you shop, what you think about A&F brand, what you thank about the stores, who is the target customer, etc. There is also a presentation component -- a mini exercise that they give you the night before that only takes about 30 minutes to complete. In the interview with the Merchant you are asked to share your ideas and support your decisions. The HR interviewer asked mostly fit and personality questions. The environment was very relaxed. The second round interview is two long days of activities at the Home Office

I submitted my application for the Merchandising LDP Internship (résumé and cover letter). The following day, they contacted me to say they liked what they saw and would like to proceed with the interview process. I'm at this first round right now. They said that I will hear back in one to two weeks. But basically, the first round of the process has two components that they have you complete within the 72 hours they sent you the email. The Maki Assessment and My Harver (prerecorded video) interview. The Maki Assessment pretty much tested your analytical side. You get 12 minutes to answer as many questions as you can. You don't need to study prior to this assessment. It was nerve-racking for me just cause I haven't done that in a hot minute. My Harver interview you should prepare beforehand. It was 4 questions, and for each question, you have 30 seconds to review the question and 2 minutes to answer. There are no retakes of the videos, so be sure to know what to say. Good luck!!
