Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)

I applied for the position by using the kiosk in the store. I got a call about a month later for an interview. The interview was about 45 minutes long and consisted of a group of five. The interviewer asked questions and everyone took turns answering. The interviewer said that the point of a group interview was to see how everyone interacted with each other. At the end of the interview we were told that we would be contacted for a one on one interview in a few days. However about an hour after the interview I was called and offered a position.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 2 weeks)

Applied in store, was asked to do an interview immediatly upon finishing the application. I was asked the general questions; my employment history, why I wanted the job, why I would be good for the job, ect. Was called in for a second interview, but I declined the job because the only shifts available were evening.
