Interviewed May 2012 in Plano, TX (took a day)
I knew the hiring manager so the interview was to the point and lasted one hour. There was one more person present but did not ask any questions. She was there because she will be taking a voluntary early retirement program (VERP) and I was there to find out what all she supported so she could turn things over to me.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Waxahachie, TX (took a day)
I was asked general questions about myself. We did a little bit of role play and I was asked the "what would you do if" questions. It was a lot easier and more relaxed then most interviews surprisingly. The lady that interviewed me was very nice.

I didn't really negotiate since I was looking for something immediately. I would of been offered minimum wage but because I had a little retail experience it was bumped to $7.50 which was disappointing.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Frisco, TX (took 2 weeks)
Applied online. First there was a phone interview with the HR rep. Then a one on one interview with the store manager of the JCPenney you would be interning at. And then there was another phone interview with the district manager.
The first interview was the most nerve wracking and intense but after that it actually got much easier

I stopped by to fill out an application at the Terminal/Workstation. While I was filling out the application, the Store Manager stopped by to say hi and asked what I was applying for. I was actually applying for a different location. He asked if I would be interested in working at his store. I said absolutely, so he put me in contact with the department manager for shoes. They offered me a job on the spot.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Dallas, TX (took 2 days)
I had an overall great experience interviewing at JCP. I was flown down from NYC to interview for two days. They put us in a very nice hotel, and all travel/meals were paid for. The interview is very tough. Lots of behavioral questions. I interviewed with three people at the same time. Decided not to take the internship because I have no interest in relocating to Dallas, but the company is great and they seem to really care about their employees.

First, I applied by filling out my resume on the companies kiosk inside the department store. The very next I had received a call from the salon manager about a front desk position. In about a week, I had an one on one interview and with the manager. A week later I filled the position, The main concern was about handling a large volume of calls to the front desk.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Plano, TX (took 6 months)
Contracted six months before offered permanent position.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Salary offered was 16% per year LOWER than what I was currently being paid to work there. Having already taken a 12% per year pay cut to take the contract job I simply could not afford to work there as an employee...in all honesty was rather insulted.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Staffing Agency and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test and a Personality Test.
