No Offer – Interviewed in Davenport, IA May 2013 – Reviewed May 18, 2013 New
Interview Details – I had to go in at 9:30 Pm and do a questionnaire on the computer. Then I was given interview which were about 7 behavioral questions. The interviewer explained to me in great detail about getting merchandise to the floor and the system that they use. So I was told that I will be getting a phone call within the next couple days. I waited and never received a phone call, so I checked my email and saw that I didn't get the job.
Interview Question – There really wasn't one. Answer Question

Interview Details – Was called, scheduled for a six A.M. in person interview a few days after completing online application. Arrived and met with department manager. Woman had obviously not looked over application as she expressed surprise over supervisory experience. Was asked 5 questions, then told to wait while she asked her boss what he wanted to do. Was eventually told they were not doing second interviews as she had more people to talk to, am I would receive a call later in the week. Six days later received an email stating no position was being offered.

Interview Details – After submitting an application online, 2 days later I received a call setting up a phone interview. This consisted of standard personality and experience questions. Two days after this interview I received another call setting up an in-person interview. This interview was basically them asking if I was able to physically handle the job, what type of personality I had, and what experiences I had that would help me with this job. This interview went well, they asked me to wait a few minutes, then the HR person came out and asked to speak with me in her office. She offered me the job immediately.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Largo, MD Mar 2012 – Reviewed Apr 21, 2013
Interview Details – The hiring process took a really long time. There were three interviews that I had to do - a Team Leader, the Team Leader that would be supervising me, and the Store Team Leader. What took so long was working around everybody's schedules. I found myself frequently calling back in order to "remind" them that I was waiting for an interview. It helped knowing the names of the people in HR in order to get directly to them.

No Offer – Interviewed in Ocean, NJ Feb 2013 – Reviewed Mar 16, 2013
Interview Details – I filled out an application online at about 6pm and 2 hours later I was called to set up a telephone interview. The phone interview was about 3 days later and it was for 10:30pm since it was for an overnight position. The phone interview was pretty easy. I was asked a few behavioral questions and about my strenghts and weaknesses. After the phone interview I was set up for an in person interview. This in person interview was scheduled at night time too. When I arrived I was asked to complete a test that was on the computer and after that I was called into the HR for the interview. The person that interviewed me never looked me in the eyes, she just asked questions off of a sheet of paper. I was asked questions about if a customer wanted shoes for her child and they weren't in stock, what would I do. I was asked about my availability and my strenghts and weaknesses. She asked me if I had any questions and I did and I asked them. I felt like she didn't connect with me at all. She kept yawning and acting like she was in a hurry and she didn't give a good interview.
Interview Question – There were no difficult or unexpected questions. Answer Question
