Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's
No Offer – Interviewed in Coral Springs, FL (US) Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 22, 2013 New
Interview Details
After completing the online application I learned two days later I missed a phone call to set up an interview. The next day I contacted the store and I managed to get penciled in about 2 weeks later due to the fact I was only able to visit my hometown (where the store is located) a certain time between my college schedule.
The day of the interview, I came in 10 minutes early and felt prepares. Unfortunately, the person that I talked to could not come to the store and interview me at that time, and I wasn't sure if I could reschedule again. Luckily for me, he was able to let his assistant give me the interview instead and it went pretty smoothly.
However, it took almost a month before the interviewer mailed me whether or not I would get a position there.

Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Hamilton, OH (US) – Reviewed May 12, 2013 New
Interview Details I got a call about two weeks after applying online. They told me to come in and only had certain dates they were interviewing and certain times. Ended up being a group interview with about 4 other people. He asked us all the same questions, and we went in line basically and ordered them. It took about 2 hours for the interview. I am not a big fan of group interviews and I also wasn't told it was going to be one, so I wasn't exactly excited for it.
Interview Questions
- Describe a time where you have went beyond the expectations for a customer Answer Question
- Describe a time where you have had to sell a certain item for a company you worked for. What was it and how well did it go? Answer Question
- Why do you think Kohl's offers Kohl's credit cards? What does it do for the company and for the customer? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I did not apply for Cashier, I applied to work on the sales floor, but instead they offered me a cashier job. They start everyone out at minimum wage. I have three years of experience as a cashier, and I should be getting paid more than that.

Area Supervisor at Kohl's
No Offer – Interviewed in May 2013 – Reviewed May 02, 2013
Interview Details
Applied for multiple positions online. Was called a week later and asked to come in for an interview the next day. I arrived at Kohl's and was taken into the assistant manager's office. She told me I was being interviewed for an area supervisor position, which made me very excited. She explained the job, the duties, and asked me if I had any questions for her before we moved on. She then went on to the interview questions.
I have not received an offer as of yet.
She told me she would give me a call within 10 days to let me know if I got the job or not, or to come in for another interview.
Interview Question –
None. Very typical interview questions, such as:
Why do you want to work at Kohl's? How do you define customer service? Tell me about a time you went above and beyond to satisfy a customer. Tell me about a time where you could have handled a situation with a customer better. What did you like and dislike about your previous job? etc.....
