Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 3 months)
"You decide": There were four separate 1:1 interviews with four different people over a 90 day period for what I finally learned was for a minimum wage position. No, I'm not joking. Midway through this process, I had been unable to obtain a status update regarding my candidacy for the job because my two communication attempts, almost a couple of weeks apart after my second interview, did not yield a response nor had anyone contacted me until after I made my final, third attempt. Yes, I had sent "thank you" correspondence after the interviews. Anyway, I was relieved when I was told after interview #4 that I was not going to be offered the job. It was during interview #4 where I was informed that the minimum wage would be the hourly compensation (or possibly maybe .50 cents an hour more than minimum wage) and regardless of factors such as mall traffic, weather, the lousy economy, etc. employees get "written-up" when they fail to sell enough chocolate and do not meet their quota. I know, it's hard to believe but at least it's a Great Recession-era story I haven't gotten tired of telling yet.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Emeryville, CA (took 2 weeks)
When I interviewed, there were two store manager openings in the district. I met with the District Manager, and then had a phone interview with Human Resources. This was followed by an interview with the Regional Director. I then received the job offer from the District Manager and was informed that she was leaving the company to pursue other opportunities (red flag#1). I was surprised that both interviewers had been with the company for less than 2 years (red flag #2). I was required to submit a drug test for the first time in my 20-year career (red flag #3). The district manager was very open about issues with retaining store managers and high sales pressure from the company (red flag #4). I guess I must have been color blind throughout this process.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Silver Spring, MD (took 2 days)
Godiva will typically hire you if you have the experience theyre looking for; customer service and retail. If this is your first job you are applying to, theres still a chance of being hired, just include your volunteer work and great references. I just went in and asked for application. Typically you want to go in at a time where the store manager/hiring manager is there. If not its okay, just ask for an application and find out when the manager will be in. Its good for you to talk to the manager and let them know who you are. Complete your application as much as possible and try to return it to the manager. Before you leave ask them 'how soon can you hear back from them?'. Give it about a week, and if you havent been contacted, you can take it upon yourself to return and personally ask them about the status of your application. When the interview time comes around, make sure you let them know that you have your own transportation, and your availability. You need to either be available to open or close the store (am or pm shifts). Be professional in the interview, and youve got it.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took 4 weeks)
I had a 30 minute telephone interview with the Regional Manager (based out of Texas) who then scheduled a face to face interview at a hotel near LAX later in the month. It cost $24 hr to park and when asked about validation she acted confused.
Additionally, she had stated an hourly rate that was $2.00 less than what she orginally offered on the telephone interview. So I left with a $47.00 parking bill and a distaste for chocolate.
