A 4 year degree is required to apply for the MIT program; with some exceptions made for those still in college, but have less than 16 credit hours to complete. Manager's in the stores are pushed to recruit attractive, young, extroverted people into the management program, and will jump on you if you fit the criteria. A brief application can be completed in store or online (password required), and a call from the District Manager can be expected within a few days to schedule an interview. The 1:1 interview with the DM takes less than a half hour, and casual A&F clothing should be worn to the interview. Unnatural hair styling, facial hair, nose/lip piercings, and visible tattoos are an automatic disqualifier. A desirable candidate will portray a confident, youthful, pleasant attitude. If selected for the position expect a call within 5 days of the interview. Desirable candidates are often offered the position the next day.
