Interviewed Oct 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
Interviewed for a seasonal sales position at the CB2 store in downtown San Francisco. I interviewed with the store manager and the overall experience was pretty positive. She asked basic questions and was friendly and personable. I felt the interview went fairly well considering I was given a tour of the store and was introduced to other associates in passing. She asked about training at another east bay location the following Sunday, which I agreed I could make it. I left the more than an hour long interview feeling pretty good about everything. What struck me as odd was I never received a call back or a rejection letter. To this day I'm not sure what exactly happened.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took a day)
Applied online through craigslist posting for Seasonal Sales Associate. Was called in for an in-person interview within a week. Went to location early and was told to look around the store for a product to take with me to the interview. When at interview they asked the standard questions, but then asked me to sell them the product, or how I would tell a customer about the product. Friendly interviewed, but never called back.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Costa Mesa, CA (took a day)
The overall process was very easy. I found openings on InDeed.com which redirected me to the company's website. I filled out an online application and a couple of days later the Customer Service Manager called me in for an interview. We went emailed back and forth since C&B had already conducted an Open House Interview for Seasonal Associates and they were at capacity. Since there were some scheduling conflicts with said Associates, I was able to fill that gap - lucky me! I came in for an interview the next day during my lunch break and it took 30 mins. There are 2 training sessions and a 3rd for the POS system.
The store, environment, people and culture are all wonderful - that's why I wanted to work here.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Troy, MI (took 1 week)
I filled the application out - turned it in, got a call.
I arrived early and ended up waiting about 10 mins. I dressed professionally, it seemed appropiate. I haven't had any sales experience before, so that was probably not good. I found out that they were hiring specifically for kitchen ware which I also didn't know too much about really. I don't think I was really prepared as I could have been.
They did send me a very nice letter though. Even if it was a rejection letter, it was nice.
