I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Marshalls (Ottawa, ON) in Apr 2013
Interview
Casual and welcoming hiring manager. Did a quick tour of the building and then we had a pretty typical retail interview. Questions about my schooling, hobbies, how I dealt with customers in the past and why I left my previous job. The whole interview probably lasted 20-30 minutes, but some of that was just talking about ourselves and what the role of sales associate would be there.

Cool process, nothing to worry about. Go in and be your best self. It was a fairly simple process more of a nice conversation, but still prepare I would say. Best tip I have is just have eye contact

Pretty short and straight to the point. Ask you basic scenarios, past work experiences, all that good stuff. They also ask technical questions like are you a us citizen and what not. But overall super easy.
