Interviewed Dec 2009 in Chandler, AZ (took a day)
I talked with salespeople in the store, and they recommended that I apply. They were not accepting applications, but thru personal introductions to the managers, I was allowed to apply. They called me about 2 weeks later for an interview. I got a phone call asking me to come and be a model in a wedding fashion show. I thought that I had gotten the job, but it turns out it was not paid. They were required to use employees only, and they thought since I was "in the system" that they would get away with it. I got a job offer a couple days later.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They have a fixed schedule. They started me at $9 per hour. When my quarterly sales were high enough, they gave me a 10% raise. When they were too low, they gave me a 10% pay cut. Then again, and then they fired me. It is all based on numbers. Employees asked me to go get water for them, to help them clean a section of the store--they did this when they saw a rich customer walk in, so they would get the sales. I was cooperative and worked for customer service and the enterprise as a whole rather than playing the numbers game. When I was fired, both my managers cried, and told me they would recommend me, anywhere, but that, unforuntately, the Dillard's system is not designed to recognize my contributions or my value.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Kansas City, MO (took 3 days)
I went into Dillards and they had me fill out the application there. I filled it out and also gave them my cover letter and resume. They called the next day and asked me to do the interview the following day. I went in for the interview and they really didn't even ask me any questions besides, what hours i could work and what department I would feel most comfortable in.

Interviewed Nov 2008 (took 2 weeks)
I applied for the position and was aked to complete a short quiz on a computer. This quiz took about 30 minutes and tested personaltiy traits. I was called about a week later and scheduled a one on one interview with a manager. She was very nice and there was really no pressure. Knowledge and experience in retail sales helped me out quite a bit. Try to relate every question back to your ability to sell and overcome goals and quotas and there should be no problem.

Interviewed Aug 2008 (took a day)
Application information had to be completed at an on site computer. Inputting this information took about 20 minutes. You needed references, addresses, and had to answer a series of personality type questions. These were easy, but time consuming. I had a 10 minute interview with the counter manager. I was supposed to interview with the store manager, but the position really needed to be filled quickly so I was able to skip that part. The questions were easy. Why Dillard's? What do you like about retail? Give an example of a good selling technique.

Negotiation Details
No negotiation. A dollar figure was given and that was that. You probably could negotiate, but I was happy with the offer.
