Interviewed Feb 2009 in Hudson, OH (took 4 days)
Phone Interview followed by in person interview by three interviews on the same day. Comfortable interview however I felt like they already had filled the job with an internal candidate. I do respect a company that promotes from within however I would prefer not to be interviewed if they already know the plan.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Sacramento, CA (took 2 days)
The 1 on 1 is straight forward. Most of Jo-Ann's managers are very knowedgeable in their field and the place has more of a familt atmosphere than big corporate. The next step is the presentation and a sort of scavenger hunt through the store. They try to make it fun.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Omaha, NE (took a day)
I applied online and within 2 days got a call back from the store manager. We set up an interview and it went well. I was told I would most likely get the job and I got a call back maybe another day later saying i was hired.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Hudson, OH (took 2 weeks)
The interview was a pretty standard situational one. I was asked typical questions about my experiences and how I've responded to certain situations in the past. It was a panel style interview, which was sort of intimidating. Overall, the interview definitely wasn't the easiest I've ever been on, but it wasn't the most difficult either.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 2 days)
The interview was very easy, but it was for seasonal work. They had already asked me my experience when I dropped off the application. The interview mostly consisted of when can you work, and can you deal with minimum wage?
