Interviewed Jun 2011 in Kansas City, MO (took a day)
I was given and a phone interview. The interview consisted of employment history, personal background, career achievements, and goals. The interviewer also took great time to describe the position and answer any questions I had. The interviewer mentioned that they were still screening internal and external applicants for the position. I received a phone call the next day telling me that the position had been filled. Obviously, they had someone in mind for the position before they interviewed me.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 2 days)
Was called in by the GM and immediately given the personality/honesty test. After I finished that, the GM said she would get back to me after the results came in. The honesty test had some problems in it as if you are a manager at any point and respond from a mangement perspective, you may fail the test.
I passed the test, barely. I was asked a few questions, but nothing really in depth. I think I had an easier time of it because i had a former coworker who already worked at the location.
The staff lvl's at certain locations are very small, so it was great to be able to get into the job as it is rather difficult to get into sometimes.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Kansas City, MO (took 1 week)
Applied on company website. 45 minute phone interview with HR. Long day of interviews from 10AM-4PM with 10 different people (a mix of good cop-bad cop exchanges) plus lunch in the company cafeteria with prospective co-worker. Hallmark prides itself on "creativity" but the environment feels pretty staid. I've been told they don't welcome people who come in with new ideas. They're looking for people who come in and adapt to the Hallmark way of doing things.
Toward the end of the day one senior manager told me that if I didn't get an offer, and there was a chance I wouldn't get an offer, it'd be because people were intimidated by my qualifications. I didn't get an offer. Who knows why. But I did hear that they gave the position to someone with 3 years experience.
