Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 1 week)
Simply sat down with manager in break room and had quick chat about the job. Manager was friendly, if a bit unprofessional (a common thread with Michaels, unprofessional managers). Waited a bit longer than promised for background check to go through and to actually be hired.

Interviewed May 2012 in Hurst, TX (took 2 days)
I applied online. Previously the only way to apply was by going to the store, but apparently Michaels has contracted with an online hiring company, and now there is an extensive skills/personality test. I received a call the same day to interview the following day. I arrived at the store 10 minutes early and told the cashier who I was, and then I walked around the store for close to half an hour. I finally met with the hiring manager, who seemed kind of stressed and flustered. She told me the hours were starting at 3 or 4 a.m. and asked if I was okay with that, and I agreed. She told me it was "hard, dirty" work unloading the truck, and that it was hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I was asked some standard questions that were printed on her interview form, such as how would I define initiative and how often I thought someone should be late to work. I was told my test scores were unusually good. She also said that she had other interviews scheduled which she had to do, and that it would be almost a week before letting me know, but that if I didn't hear from her not to get anxious. I sent a note of thanks once I got home that day, and I waited more than a week but never heard anything. The whole thing was basically a waste of time. I wasted a week thinking I would get hired there, when I could have been looking and applying for other jobs. I was fooled by the interviewer because she acted like she was going to hire me. My advice is if they don't hire you on the spot, don't count on it.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
The assistant manager told me about the positions they were hiring for, the store, and new store manager. She asked me what position I would be best at. She agreed and offered me the job on the spot. Took an about hour and she did most of the talking.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 5 days)
Received a call two days after I applied online. Went in for interview the next day. Interview was very informal. I was asked a few questions about my interest in the store and arts & crafts. I was also asked about initiative, and my work ethic. I basically knew I had the job by the end of the interview, I just needed to pass a background check. After the background check, I was told to come in with my credentials (passport, birth certificate, etc), and then I started working.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Surprise, AZ (took 4+ weeks)
I applied for the job online and got a call a month later to come in for the interview if still interested. The interview was scheduled for the following day. I showed up about 10 minutes early and had to wait, then met the hiring manager. The interview was quick and straight to the point: she wanted to verify my job experience and get a few more details of my skills, then told me what the job consists of. She had me fill out a background check form then that was it. I didn't really hear back for almost a month, even though I had called to check up on my status 4 times. They kept saying she was still interviewing and deciding on people. Finally got a call back a month after the interview to come back in to fill out paperwork if I'm still interested in the job, which I am.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Vienna, VA (took 2 days)
I spoke with a lady from the Michaels in Vienna about a potential position working there as a replenishment/sales associate. I got my interview the next day and spoke with the manager there. He was very on point and had me fill out a few forms here and there; one of them being the consent to a background check. I spoke to him about my skill sets and how each unique one would be an asset to the company. After, he offered me the position on the condition that I passed my background check. Two days later, I cleared said background check and started working the next day.

Negotiation Details
He asked me what I would like to receive as compensation for working. I told him anything around 8.50 to 8.75 would be cool. He then offered me 9.25 and jokingly said that I could take the 8.50 if I wanted.
When the manager asks you to describe why you would be a good fit for the company, play to your strengths and work them into helping the company somehow. Creativity, a basis in the art field is a plus.
