I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Hobby Lobby in Apr 2009
Interview
submited resume, they called the next day for a phone interview, after covering the basic expectations and salary requirements (45-55k) as well as relocation and available start date I was told they'd discuss all candidates as a group and pursue them from there, the process takes about a week.
Horrible. Very quick interview scheduled and professional interview but it’s unrealistic to expect 7-10 references that are professional only. Most companies don’t even allow employees to give references so to make that a minimum to move in in today’s world is ridiculous.
The recuiter met me at the door and showed me around the store explaining expectations right off th bat. He then took me to the office and asked me standard interview questions for a leadership position.
Electronic notification of interest followed by phone interview which lasted about a half hour. Next was an in-person interview with recruiter, a written self assessment, on-site tour of a store, some interaction with current management and associates.
