Facilities Manager at Hallmark
No Offer – Interviewed in Enfield, CT Jun 2012 – Reviewed Feb 26, 2013
Interview Details –
They called about 2 days after I put the online application in wanting to meet me in person. ONce there you have to fill out exact the same thing you did on the internet but except "by hand".
I went in to the interview with the hiring manager, was confident, only in the end to be told they had already hired someone INTERNAL and just BROUGHT OUTSIDE people in to interview because the had to fill the HR quota.
It was sad because I wasted my time and had more years on the job than my interviewer said he had.

Retail Merchandiser at Hallmark
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2013 – Reviewed Feb 18, 2013
Interview Details – Filled out and completed online application. Contingent upon submitted information, if a match, all available positions would be displayed. After applying you will be given the opportunity to schedule a phone interview either right away or at a later date (selected by you) requiring about 15min. The phone interview was very basic and monotone, just an overview of your personal information, the job position & requirements, also asking if physical ability would be an issue. I was then asked to summarize what was just asked of me to ensure that I understood the job in its entirety.
Interview Question – I was a little taken off guard when asked to repeat back what she had just said to me and what was already submitted in the job discription Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Have not begun yet
