The Interview Process

Apply Online
The process begins after you have searched our career website and selected the opportunity that is right for you by clicking the “Apply for this job” link at the bottom of the page.

If this is the first time you are applying, you will be asked to complete an online profile. If the position requires a resume and/or cover letter, you can either upload the documents or you can cut & paste a copy of your resume into the textbox. Please note, for Seasonal positions, a cover letter and resume are optional, unless specified in the job posting.

Tip: Cut & paste your resume into the text box so our recruiters can quickly retrieve your resume when searching our database of candidates.

If you have created a profile in the past, click on the “Login” link. Your workbench shows you the jobs you’ve applied for and your current status.

Click on the “My Profile” tab to update your resume or contact information. The “My Searches” tab allows you to search and apply for new jobs.

We encourage you to check back often as we frequently add new opportunities to our website.

We'll Contact You
You will receive a confirmation email acknowledging that we received your application online. This email indicates that your application successfully reached the recruiter. If you receive this e-mail, it is not necessary to call us. If you don’t receive this e-mail, it may be in your spam folder.

At any point in the application process, you can log back into our website to see your status in the hiring process.

You will receive an e-mail notification if we determine that your skills and background aren’t the best match for our requirements.

The Interview Process
The interview process varies among our different business groups and depends on the type of position to which you have applied. You will be contacted by email or phone if you are invited to participate in a screening (usually over the phone) or an in-person interview. There may be multiple rounds of interviews. We will keep you informed of next steps in the process and any decisions we make.

Thank you for your interest in working at L.L.Bean. We look forward to reviewing your application.
