The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Hy-Vee (West Des Moines, IA) in Apr 2010
Interview
The interviewers asked questions that measured whether or not I would be able to contribute as an outsider as well as fit in with company culture. They were looking for an outside perspective, which is what they got.
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Hy-Vee
Interview
I had to email and call multiple times to get my interview scheduled over the course of 3 weeks. During the interview, I was asked multiple ways I would improve the store sales and marketing. I was told I did well, and he would follow up to do hiring paperwork. I never got called back or emailed. When I tried to call, I was told HR did not have me on file and would not let me speak to the manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Look at this paper advertisement we send out. What would you change to improve it, and how would you market our store better?
The interview process was easy with it first being an initial phone call and then another phone call. The interviewer just asked basic background questions and also told more about the internship.
