      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney in Oct 2011

      Interview

      Prescreening is done by computer; if it doesn't like the answers the applicant gives, management cannot override its decision, and the applicant cannot apply for any positions for 6 months.

      Question 1

      Questions involve integrity, motivation, and taking initiative. The list is long and the challenges are many--it's necessary to think of scenarios as they are described, and decide which of the responses would bet fit the situation.
