What are American Eagle seasonal jobs like?

I'm thinking about working a seasonal job at American Eagle during the holidays to save up some money for college. Has anyone here worked there before? Would love to know what the application process is like and if it's worth it!

Working at American Eagle during the holidays can be a great opportunity to earn extra money for college. The seasonal jobs mostly entail serving customers on the floor and at the register, replenishing stock, and maintaining store cleanliness. It can get pretty busy, especially during the holidays, so being able to maintain your focus is important.

The application process usually involves filling out an online application through their website. You'll likely need to provide details about your previous employment and answer some situational judgement questions. After applying, you may be invited for an interview which is usually quite casual, with questions about your customer service experience, scenario-based questions, and why you want to work for American Eagle.

Bear in mind though, hours can be long and you might have to work on weekends, evenings, and even holidays, so be sure that you're okay with these terms. However, you'll gain experience in retail, customer service, and might even get an employee discount which can be quite rewarding.

In terms of whether it's worth it, that would be subjective and depends on your personal circumstances, your aims (like how much money you're hoping to save), and your willingness to work in a fast-paced retail environment during its busiest time. It can be a good opportunity to save, meet new people, and gain some work experience for your resume. Hope this helps!
