Interview
Only one interview, could be either individual or group. Questions were mostly focused on customer service, and a bit about the company's history. Sometimes may discuss interest in fashion.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zara
Interview
There was a job fair hosted downtown where walk in candidates could apply for positions at all Zara's across Ontario. I and my friends decided to check it out. The process was fairly long, waited for about an hour to get an interview with the founding members and management. The interview itself was a group interview which lasted about 15-20 minutes. They asked pretty basic questions about customer service and previous retail experience. Two weeks later they contacted everyone by email.
