Don't you just love fresh produce? Women from our IT team recently spent some time at Fertile Groundworks, a garden in Livermore, CA that partners with local soup kitchens and food pantries to provide produce year-round to the hungry.
In addition to providing fresh produce, they hope to teach Tri-Valley residents how to garden and the importance of organic and sustainable farming. Ross volunteers help with miscellaneous garden maintenance activities, including planting, harvesting, and weeding.

Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy InterviewRoss Stores 2018-08-11 21:29 PDTApplication
I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Ross Stores (New York, NY) in September 2017.
Interview
Started with a quick 30 min on-campus interview in late September followed by an invitation to their super day interview in NYC. They paid for all transportation costs, even flights. Super day consisted of individual 30 min interview sessions with 2 senior buyers and planners.
The planners were looking for more analytical mindsets and buyers were looking for more conversational people. If you are looking to land the buying position you have to find common ground with your interviewer and make it more conversational instead of a stiff interview.
Overall it was a really quick process, took a little over a month from initial interview to final offer.Interview Questions
