What is the hiring process at American Apparel?

Typically interviews are set up with the hiring manager within one to two weeks of the application's submission. American Apparel does not reach out to applicants that were not chosen for a position, so if you have not heard from the company within this timeframe, it is safe to move on.

For in-person interviews, it is important to showcase style and fashion sense. Be aware of current trends in the industry and play to them!

American Apparel considers its stores to be more like art galleries than retail stores. During the interview, which typically takes place on the store floor, showcase your ability to take the company's products and create unique and trendy looks.

After the in-person interview, you may be hired or the company may want you to participate in a team interview. In some cases, a drug test may be required. If a drug test is required, you would typically start two weeks after the test was done.
