I applied online. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Oxnard, CA)
Interview
I was shopping at a Ross and there was a table in the front of the store saying they were hiring, and to apply online. So I went online a few days later and applied and received a phone call about an hour later to set up an interview. I went to the interview the following week. I had to wait about 40 minutes until finally my interview began. She first asked me about my availability then read some "What would you do..." scenarios off a paper she had. For the most part, she just talked about the company and how they all work together. When the interview was over, she said that they would be calling people later that night to schedule a second interview... I never received a call. About a month later I got an email saying that they don't need me.
it was very pleasant and they will almost always hire you if you are a tolerable person who can work hard and well with others. It would be strange to not hear back from them within a week due to how much demand they usually have for employees.
Very lowkey. They asked basic interview questions. They just wanted to know availability for work and if you’re available during their most busy hours. Nothing super professional, but they want to make sure you’re going to actually come into work.
When arriving, they do accommodate you to sit in the break room while waiting on an interview, which is great because you’re not standing around the store looking crazy. When you get in the back and we’ll meet with the Store Manager or an assistant manager short it seems rushed like they genuinely didn’t have time set aside for interviews. They were trying to move along candidates.
