I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at World Market (Silverdale, WA) in Apr 2015
Interview
The General Manager and Operations Supervisor held a group interview, with five of us in attendance. It was actually a lot of fun and a great way to really put our personalities out there. We were able to meet other prospective employees and get to know their personalities before ever working with them. Three of us were hired from that interview and get along great. They asked each of us different questions which allowed us to answer in our own fashion, without competing for the "right answer".
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you approach a customer in order to provide excellent customer service?
Easy! Was professional, engaging, and made the experience comfortable. They asked insightful questions, actively listened, and provided clear insights about the role. I left feeling motivated and excited about the opportunity
The process started with a relaxed group interview conducted by two different managers. Typical interview questions were asked such as "What makes you qualified for this position?", "Why are you interested in Cost Plus?", etc. Follow-up individual interview with GM after the group interview and was offered the job on the spot. Managers made the process very comfortable and relaxed compared to other interviews.

Interview
My manager was really kind and personable. She showed me around the store and explained the job thoroughly after the initial introduction. It was the least nerve-wracking interview I've ever had.
