I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at JCPenney (Erie, PA) in Jan 2014
Interview
When I went in, the place was busy, stylist looked pretty busy, I met the manager and she took me upstairs to fill out an application online. When I was done, I met her back downstairs in the salon. We went into her office and she asked me to tell her a bit about myself, some background as a stylist, what I liked the most about the career field, what I felt my skills were strong in and weak in, where I would like to improve, if offered classes what I would like to learn more about. I brought a small portfolio with me of previous hair styles I had done, so I showed her that. Then she told me about the company and how their pay works and about the benefits and about classes being offered that are paid. After everything she let me know about the second interview that will be set up to sit with her boss, whom I assume is a regional manager. That was it so far. She said she will call early this coming week so either Monday or Tuesday, it's currently Friday. I look forward to it, sounds like a great place to return to the field in.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
To describe myself in using 3-5 words. To think of 3-5 words that describes you on the spot without sounding conceded was a bit difficult, she was kind enough to help me along and further ask if I felt like I was someone who needs to be told step by step what to do or do I take the initiative to do things.
It was pretty easy, just answer confidently and be honest with your answers. It’s olways good to ask them questions and feel free to show them your work. We all get nervous before getting interviewed but you got this!!! Just prepare for your answers before getting interviewed
