I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DSW (Woodbury, MN) in Jun 2012
Interview
All behavioral and situational questions. First rounds group interview with several applicants and a floor manager (go around table and everyone answers the same question, therefore important to have several answers in mind). Second rounds one on one interview with manager. Very laid back and casual, all behavioral questions.
