The process took 1 day. I interviewed at f.y.e. (Bloomington, MN) in Nov 2011
Interview
They were looking for seasonal employees. I applied via internet, and got a call about a week later. I went into the store wearing casual but not trashy clothing. They sat me down and interviewed me. They asked very standard interview questions. Right after, they said I got the job, and I began work on Black Friday.
I can't say I like their philosophy though. It's more about treating customers as consumers, and less about treating them as people. They focused on selling a bunch right away, instead of giving a good vibe that makes customers want to come back.
The interview was straight forward asking about experience and why I wanted to join the company. I was then ghosted and received no reply after following up twice. This was years ago though so the experience may be different now
They were easy-going and understanding. For a first job, it was great practice and a good experience. The friendly manager made the process seamless. A bit informal but great for a first interview, and quick turnaround and got an answer quickly. Started about a month later with good training.
