I applied online. I interviewed at The Container Store (White Plains, NY) in Jul 2011
Interview
We first participated in a group interview- size varies, my group was I think 9 people. It involved several exercises and question sessions. Then a couple weeks later, we were called in for individual interviews - with questions like: what do you think your special qualifications are for being hired - which involved a relevant manager, then, I met briefly with the branch manager.

After the group interview I wasn't expecting second interview but I recieved an email for second one on one interview. Interview was with the same manager who did phone interview and group interview. They showed me around the store and stock room explain the kind of work I might do and ask if I was willing to do it. They ask for background check and after that drug test.
