I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zara (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2016
Interview
It wasn't bad. The manager takes you outside of the store and asks you pretty basic retail oriented questions. As long as you've done some initial review of the brand or are familiar enough with clothing retail, you'll be fine. I highly recommend doing a cursory glance at both the Zara and Inditex websites. You don't have to memorize anything, but the manager may ask you how you think Zara's fashion would fit into your personal style.

I applied online on Indeed and received a phone call 3 days late about an interview. I went in for the interview 3 days later. The interviewer was really nice and open with his experience when he first started out at Zara. The interview lasted for about 15-20 minutes and a few hours later I got a call about a job offer.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zara (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2012
Interview
I went in and spoke to a manager and gave them my resume and was given an interview date. the interview was a group interview. This was 5 years ago but the Manager I gave it to was really nice and sweet. Always ask if they are hiring and give your resume to them during hiring periods or else your resume goes in a pile and you will never hear from them again.
