I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at JCPenney (Anderson, SC) in May 2010
Interview
I applied online and got a call about 1 week later asking if I would come in for an interview. The manager asked basic easy questions such as: How much experience do you have in retail, What is your availability etc. After we were done talking she asked if I could come in the next day to meet the store manager, which was a very quick process. He just wanted to say hi and didn't really ask questions. I got a phone call the next day telling me when i could start training. Training process took 2 days, and was done on a computer. Very easy. The only thing I did not like about working there, you have so much more to do compared to Walmart or any other retail place i have worked, and for the same amount of pay (minimum wage).
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.
The interview process begins with an initial screening to review qualifications and experience. Selected candidates then participate in one or more interviews with the hiring team, which may include behavioral and role-specific questions. Final candidates may be asked to complete an assessment or meet with senior stakeholders before a hiring decision is made. Candidates are kept informed throughout the process.
