The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Meijer in Sep 2010
Interview
Had worked there for years--came back in and applied in store. The manager fast tracked my application to the Team Leader (manager in charge of your designated department). Normally there's a phone interview, but they just scheduled me for an interview with a department leader (General Merchandise, not service). After that I came back in a couple days later to meet with the Store Director. All this time you have to wait for your background check to clear. Once everything is set and they approve you--you're scheduled for a training session.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you displayed leadership skills or ability.
Very easy interview they asked about your past experience and it’s a phone call first and then in person. Once you pass both of the process you interview with the store director sometimes or you just get hired in.

Question 1
Set me a time how you dealt with a difficult customer
Scheduled phone interview after application was submitted. Was scheduled over email. Interview was short maybe 10 minutes at most. Basic questions to assess work ethic and experience. Offer was provided via email after the interview.
Met with a department manager. Not the person who was scheduled to do the interview. Most questions were about my availability and work history at a previous employer for a cashier job
