Interviewed Aug 2009 in Pekin, IL (took a day)
I walked into hobby lobby, handed the manager my application, and he asked if I was available for an interview on a date about two weeks from the day. I said sure, and showed up at the appointed hour. He asked me a few self-assessing questions and handed me a simple math test that was to be done without a calculator. I completed it, and he asked me to return the next day to start work.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Valdosta, GA (took 2 weeks)
Quite lengthy and method based. The mere quantity of applicants in this price/experience range apparantley forces them to use a screening process that is quite impersonal.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I was looking for more creative freedom where a person with self motivated inititave can stand out. They are in search of young impressionable minds who follow established structures.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Dallas, TX (took a day)
Interviewer said he had many applicants ,immediately berated my experience and said he was eliminating the extra applicants .... the entire four minute process uncomfortable due to his advesarial approach.
My opinion of the company changed immediately from favorable to very unfavorable- if you treat people poorly before they go to work for you..why would things change after you were hired?

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took a day)
I applied to Hobby Lobby online. I am testing the job market and have begun a job search. the interview consisted of a phone call from a recruiter. He was polite and friendly enough. Here are the job specs.
Minimum 55 hours a week January - October. Holiday up to 80 hours per week! Salary range to start is $45K to $49K, they have a little area to work with in that range. They are very uptight about the relocation part of the interview. When can you relocate, where would you be willing to go, is there anything that would prevent you from relocating? They asked why I liked Hobby Lobby and why I applied - I told them I understood they were a value based business and had Sundays off for family. I was told there would possibly be times we had to work on Sunday as well.
I was honest about when and where I would relocate. My advice to anyone taking their interview is to be honest. They will hold you to it when it is time to relocate. If you fail to do so, they have been known to terminate employment due to that.
This job to me was no more than a bridge job and I would have continued looking. I hope this is helpful.
