I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Ross Stores
Interview
I was shopping with my mom and she over heard some employees talking about them needing help. She asked if they we're hiring and they told her yes. She asked if the manager was in and when pointed to her direction she came to me. I went to talk to the manager which was a female. She told me to apply online and once I took the assessment to call and we would go from there. The girl who told my mom about them hiring, told me I could use her for a reference. I went home that night, took the assessment, and called the next day. I was setup to come in the next day for a interview. I went in and there were two other people waiting to be interviewed. I held a conversation with some employers and asked them about their experience. When it was time for me, a guy in a vest came and escorted me to the back. I sat in the eating area for about five minutes. While I was looking around at everything a tall man came and asked for me. We proceeded into the office. We sat down and he asked for my resume. He pretty much asked me about myself and since this was my first job, I couldn't tell him anything other than why he should hire me. We talked for about 10 minutes and then I was asked to come back the next day for another interview with the store manager. Came back the next day, went through the same process, and I was offered the job at the end. I filled out some paper work, entered information on the computer and was told to come in for my orientation. When I came in for my orientation I had to wear a blue shirt, black pants, and black shoes. I received my name tag, my locker, and my schedule. I also had to watch some videos and learn about the store.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Every question was typical interview questions. Nothing was hard
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.
