I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Ross Stores (West Covina, CA) in Dec 2011
Interview
One of the managers called me offering me an interview for the next day. Asked me about my education, how i have solved problems and what I was looking to be my career. She was really interested when I said I wanted to stay in retail and move up in a company. She then said that they would give me a call 5 minutes later when I was about to reach the car the security guy ran to catch me and tell me they wanted me back in the office. When i walked in the manager took me back to the office and offered me the job :)
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.

Question 1
About my availability. Whether nights and weekends were an issue.
