I saw the store was hiring online but went in and confirmed they were still in the hiring process. Once I knew they were, I applied online. After about a week, I received a call for an interview, which took place almost a week after that. I first interviewed with the hiring manager and interviewed with the store director about a week after that. Interview questions were standard for retail, but you should know about the company and their products before you interview. In both of my interviews I was asked to describe the typical Madewell shopper - which appears to be a very commonly asked question for them. If you're in a city/town that has a J.Crew, J.Crew Factory, or perhaps even both, you want to make sure that your answers stand out because preference seems to be given to those wanting to transfer from those stores (J.Crew is Madewell's parent company). Two days after interviewing with the store director, I was offered the position. The entire process took about 4 weeks.

Interviewer was very nice and asked a lot of the basic questions, but said that she would call me in a week or so to let me know if i got it or not. she never called.
