Interviewed Jan 2009 in Kansas City, MO (took a day)
The area manager, territory manager, store manager and store assistant manager were all present at the interview. I got the feeling that they wanted to make sure I looked the part. The area manager was very assertive and somewhat overbearing. And as if the interviewing process was not grueling enough, the positon only pays 7.85 per hour. Can you imagine, Hallmark Cards only pays 7.85 an hour
Interview Questions

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Kansas City, MO (took 2 days)
I was interviewed by 6 upper level managers, separately, for about 30-45 minutes per interview. The questions were generally straight forward, experience or behavioral questions. Although I liked the opportunity offered, I did not like the location of the business as the surrounding area offered nothing for 20-somethings but corn fields. One panelist asked, "when is the last time you got angry". "Can you give me an example of when an employee did not listen to your requests."
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The opportunity required relocation to an area not very vibrant with youth.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 3 days)
It was very laid back and only took 8 minutes. I applied because the add said Sales Rep but that really meant cashier at a retail store for minimum wage. I was not interested in that but went to practice. I was hard to be excited when I didn't want the job. First question was "So what made you want to apply at Hallmark". I don't even shop there so I didn't have a good reason. It was good I used it for practice I needed it.
