I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Michaels (Newport News, VA) in Mar 2013
Interview
I went in for a an interview today. Yes, I was very nervous but there wasn't a reason to be. I had asked someone working in framing and she kindly took me to where the interview was going to take place. I met the regional Manager and the two lovely ladies who were going to interview me. We had a short conversation before they asked me why I was applying at Michaels and if I enjoyed arts and crafts. They then discussed where I would be a best fit in and asked if I was ok with this position. I will go in for orientation soon and start training.
The interview was fast and she was very polite. Simple questions but well detailed. Was a bit nervous but depending who interviews you, there's no need to be. Not too bad.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Michaels (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview was a short conversation with the manager about the position and about my availability. I got the interview after applying online then visiting the store a week later to show them I was seriously interested. As long as you show this amount of interest, you will likely get the job.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Michaels (Fresno, CA) in Sep 2015
Interview
It was a very brief and easy process. We had a group interview. The hiring manager asked us a few very explanatory questions. We had a personality test, background check, and they asked about our skills. Just be fun and create a positive vibe during the interview. They like an easy going person, since the staff is so small
they want to enjoy working together like family. Easy peasy interview, especially when they're in need of seasonals during the holidays. Good luck!
