I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at JCPenney (Plano, TX)
Interview
The interview overall was great. The recruiter was nice and friendly. She made sure I had a great experience and made sure I had lunch. It was a 4 hour process. Interviewed with 8 different buyers, which all were nice. The interview questions were more conversational. It did take more than 3 months to hear from them. Be prepare for the long wait to hear from them and be there for 4 hours.
