I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TJ Maxx (Edmond, OK) in Mar 2013
Interview
Filled out an application and turned it in at the store to the customer service desk. I got a call more than a week later to schedule an interview the following week at 10 AM. The interview was in the back office and I was interview by a lady who was the store manager there. The process was pretty simple. She went over my application confirming my availiability, asking about my previous job experience, etc. Then she asked me questions such as how would I contribute to TJ Maxx, what does customer service mean to me, what I liked/disliked about my last job, strengths/weaknesses, etc. Afterwards she said that another store manager was going to call me back to schedule another interview. Less than a week after the interview, I received the phone call for a second interview but declined since I had accept a job elsewhere.
It was a two parter, one on the phone, and one in person. It was a typical interview with the standard "why do you want to work here" and then what they expect from you as a employee.
Very straightforward and simple. It was a phone call with the hiring manager. Super easy peasy, nothing to stress about. Just be confident and kind. It took all of maybe half an hour, maybe less.
It was quick. I applied online, They called within a week. I spoke briefly with someone. They explained the process of getting started and some of the information about the store. They inquired about my experience when I’d be able to start
