Interview Details – Applied online through their website. Received a call about two days after. Scheduled an interview time and day. Brought a copy of my resume and original official documents (social security and drivers license). Interview itself was less than 15 minutes. Was asked some questions about what I think is the most important thing in retail for the customer (make them comfortable and provide a memorable experience). Talked about the minimum wage being innegociable. Got the job. Went home and got a call to schedule the training. Training was basically filling out forms and understanding policies and walking around the sales floor.

Interview Details – Go to the store and ask for an application my advice is fill out the application the same you got it. you might have a greater chance on getting an interview the same day depending how desperate they are on wanting a worker. After you turn your application, they will call about 1-2weeks or so it all depends on your application. Also dont forget your resume. Interview are straight forward , for example they will ask 'tell me about yourself' and the rest are basic questions.
