I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cato (Charlotte, NC) in May 2013
Interview
2 phone interviews and 1 in-person interview. Phone interviews were very basic and conducted by another store manager. The in-person interview was with the district manager. This particular district manager was very nice and easy to talk with. Standard interview questions, nothing out the ordinary.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
To give an example of a time I had to handle disciplinary actions of an employee under me.
A series of retail related questions, then an actual floor exercise to show you are knowledgeable about fashion and fashion accessories. Then filling out some basic paperwork. Very easy process.
