Interviewed Jan 2012 in Plaistow, NH (took a day)
The reason they are hiring is because they are remodeling the store and moving the experienced workers to the over night shifts. I had two 1:1 interviews. They were both very friendly. It was my first interview, and it was very comfortable. I first interviewed with a lady, who asked the basic questions. Then, I interviewed with a man, who asked about the same questions. After that, I just had to fill out some paperwork for references, background checks, ect. Then it was done. The interview took about a half n hour long. The interview was overall a very positive experience. They said it would take 2 weeks to find out if I got the job, so I'm still waiting.

Interviewed May 2011 in Walker, MI (took a day)
Was put in a room with about 12 others wanting to get employed there. Don't understand why I had to be re-interviewed when I should have been a direct hire because I was coming back from military leave. They still haven't gotten my paperwork right.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Applied online on Friday night & received a phone call on Monday morning for an interview. The interview consisted of four other people and two managers. We were asked to answer the same questions and every person had the chance to answer the question first. The managers were very friendly & energetic. After the interview they asked me & another person to stay back. So if you're asked to stay back that means you've been hired.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took a day)
Came into the building and filled out an application first and then waited for my interview. A senior member of management read my resume and she went through the application form with me. She then asked if I could stay for a 2nd interview. I was again interviewed and many of the same comment s and questions were presented to me again. After about 15 min. I was called in again and at that time they made me an offer and I accepted.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I was in a interview with 11 other applicants. Everyone was asked the same questions. Interview was easy and we also watched a video about the company. They look for upbeat and friendly personalities. At the end of the interview they asked us to apply for a kohls charge if we did not already have one.. At the store I worked at the managers and my co-workers were very friendly. I was hired for POS basically a cashier. Their motto is the customer is always right .As a cashier you are expected to get customers to apply for a Kohls charge . They are really big on pushing the charge card. If you are a seasonal associate and want a lot of hours be very flexible with your schedule. The hours per week can be low like 10 hrs a week but the closer to Christmas the more hours you will get. I would say if you want to be asked to stay on after the holidays open as many new charge accounts as you can. Get customer's email addresses and be very flexible and willing to work almost any shift . Also be very friendly, helpful and customer oriented.
