I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DSW (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2011
Interview
Applied in person and had a call a week after that for the interview. The interview was in a form of a group of other candidates that were applying for the job. A variety of questions were asked with each person that fit toward the person's experience and attributes. Mine were "tell me about yourself" and "how do you use multi-tasking from where you work". I am still waiting on a callback.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DSW (Maple Grove, MN)
Interview
Easy. Waited for a manager in the front took me to the back on for store and had the interview in a little room off to the side. Quick process called when I got the job.
The interview process was simple and straight to the point. Easy application, with straightforward questions. Interview very soon after application. Heard back within a day or two about the position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself and why you want to work here
Easy, they just want someone that can be on the floor to keep it clean. No experience needed. If you can be open with your availability you will get an offer. The best part is getting a discount.
