I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at JCPenney (Chattanooga, TN) in May 2008
Interview
The interview was very good with the manager covering alot of the basics in retail and wanting to know about my experiece. I covered not only what I had done but how I could improve his department.
I reviewed the department the day before and taken notes on how I would run it. He was impressed by my reccommedations.
Easy, got hired in 1 week and was able to start as soon as possible. It was a good process and I liked the people I interviewed with. The culture is off to a positive start.
