I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Burlington Stores in Aug 2016
Interview
Very mechanical in nature. It was for a new store opening and they held a mass three day interview process. First you apply online fill out standard application. Personality test took approximately 45 minutes online. Next day I got a call for an interview. It was held at Phoenix @work building. I spoke one on one with a hiring manager, which took 10-15 min. Never got a call back. It was an annoying process for such a simple retail job. As a veteran and a psychology major I thought I had a good chance but, I guess they wanted store experience vs people experience. Pay would have been $10.
it was very easy i was asked 3 questions. where have you worked before. why should we hire you. what's your availability. and then there was an orientation for 5 hours
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
one question they asked was what was my availibitlity
The interview went great the manager gave me the job right then and said to come back in a week. Later I got a call to finish the application on the website and then we could move forward. The next day I got a text she didn’t realize there were no open positions available and I could try again later for a holiday season. Today I got a message saying they decided to go with a candidate with qualifications that were a better fit. I let go of other jobs because I was confirmed to have been hired. I have been in customer service for 10+ years but today I got a message they hired someone with better fitting qualifications. I shouldn’t have let go of other jobs that was my fault. They shouldn’t have confirmed I was hired after the interview then said I wasn’t because there was no openings to then messaged they hired someone else. I love the items in the store and the interview was with a new manager she was awesome but was really disappointed with the way this was handled and that there’s nothing I can do about that. I’m a single mom and have been looking for a job for awhile and finally got 3 callbacks but the first job to say I was hired was Burlington so I took that and let the others know I was hired. The interview was fine but I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
I was asked Really simple question like about my experience as well as curtain situations I have encountered in my other jobs as well as how i reacted and overall a good interview
