I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TJ Maxx (Santa Monica, CA) in Sep 2012
Interview
It was pretty straight forward. I found out about the job through my school, so I applied. They liked my resume, so they decided to set up a date for my interview. On the day of the interviewThey took you into a office, asked the interview question and walked you around the store.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked you why do you want to work here. They asked the typical interview questions
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
