I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at World Market
Interview
The interview process is simple. There are questions managers are to ask off of a list. You must apply on line so there are no preconceived judgement of the applicant. It is strictly from your past employment and experience. I would say the applicant needs to articulate their goals and what they are looking in an employer. A can do attitude is a huge plus.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult questions would be the selling experience. The stores are focused on good customer service, so you must be able to approach customers and sell.
Professional standard job interview. Direct polite and honest. It was more conversational which seems to be the norm more and more. Relaxed but insightful and purposeful. I would certainly recommend the company and the process for sure
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at World Market
Interview
I first submitted my application online. About three weeks later, I received a call from the Corporate recruiter who did a one hour interview and set me up with a face to face interview with the DM. The DM interview went pretty well, He asked mostly behavioral questions and was very straight forward about his expectations for the position. I really liked that and felt it was a great match for me. He set up a third interview for me with corporate HR that same day. After a short background check, I was offered the position.
