Behavioral
I applied through my university and got an interview at their local store. It was a 2-hour interview with two people: one recruiter and one of their executives. They asked a lot of behavioral questions and also about current styles and trends. The whole experience felt pretty impersonal, though.

Behavioral Other
I interviewed on campus with two employees. It was a pretty typical behavioral interview, but the interviewers seemed inexperienced, which made it tougher. They were nice, but sometimes asked confusing questions or forgot what they were asking. They said they'd get back within a few days, but never followed up to let me know I wasn't selected.

Behavioral
A school career counselor passed my resume to HR. My first step was a brief and easy phone interview where I discussed my studies and previous internships and my interest in Saks, mentioning I could earn school credit. Afterward, I was invited for an in-person interview with the head of HR, and I also met the buyer I'd be interning with.
