I applied to COS online and was given a brief phone interview about 2 weeks later. They then asked me to come to the 5th avenue location a few days later for a group interview. It was about 12 applicants, and the interview was divided into 2 parts. The first part was a styling exercise, and the second part was a prioritization exercise - all very easy if you've worked retail before. The store manager of the Soho location called me later that same day and asked if I could come in to do an individual interview. The next day I was given an offer.

I applied online then received a phone call from the assistant store manager. I was asked a few questions over the phone then I was called for an interactive interview at the store where we had to do group activities. Then I was called back for an 1-on-1 interview with the assistant store manager and store manager.
