Interview
Applied online got called for an interview after about a week. The first interview was 1:1 with the department manager of the department I would be working in. She asked question about my availability, why I wanted to work there,and why they should hire me. At the end of the interview she asked me to come back the following day for a second interview. The second interview was a group interview and we were asked simple questions like what we would do if so saw another associate stealing and how would we handle angry customers. We were told we would get a call the next day if we were hired but it took them 4 days to call me back. I was offered a job and I accepted.

Interview
I received a phone call 10 minutes after I completed the online application and was asked to come in the following week for an interview. At the interview, which was a group interview, they were about 20 of us and everyone was eager. With like 5 managers.The main thing in these interviews but especially for JCPENNEY you have to show up and stand out. I did by being impressionable and showing some humor when necessary. Just be yourself. After I was called In like everyone else, each of us one by one, by the HR manager. I was offered the position and I accepted. Less than a week later my background check cleared and the next day orientation.

Interview
I applied online and received a call a few weeks later for a group interview. I had done a group interview for the same place of employment a year before but was not hired. We all shared a little about ourselves including where our dream vacation would be and then did a group puzzle exercise which was fun and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We were then all called in one by one to do a quick one on one interview. I was the last called and met another manager. I was offered a position and started a week or so later.

Interview
The interview process was very easy. They only asked general questions and give a brief job description- if you want to get more detail you must ask otherwise you will be fooled. The interview will be done by several mangers who read from a script that just answers if you can do the job. Once offered the job the hiring process goes very quick!
