There was some sort of test with the online reservation, but I don't know how I would classify it. My first mistake was thinking that any good could come from an open interview process to staff a new store. I arrived on-time, check in was easy. Felt a bit overdressed, the confirmation for the interview stated business professional and I guess I didn't realize that now included flip-flops. As I waited for my group to be called, I felt pretty confident about my chances. In the group interview they would ask a question, and then everyone would answer the same question. They would start with a different person each time. None of them were difficult questions at all, and you were pretty unlucky to be at the end of the line on a question because whatever brilliant thing that you thought you were going to say had already been said five times. After they asked their question, we had an opportunity to ask questions and then the two interviews went into the hall. From there, they called us out one by one. When I got out they asked a few more specific questions and sent me on my way. At the point, I figured I didn't get it because while we were waiting people from previous interviews were being herded back in for additional paperwork. I really would have rather got to live in the fantasy that I was finally going to be working again for a few more days. Especially in light of the fact, that they were slated to interview 1000+ people over the next several days. I don't know how you effectively find people with that sort of mob interview. The process actually completely changed my opinion of Kohl's as a store. I can't take their associates seriously. I guess next time I wear my flipflops.

The interview was mostly "tell me a time when..." questions. The interviewer was very nice however she told me that the position I applied for was already filled and the only position that I would be qualified for would be cashier. I didn't feel comfortable pressuring the customer in to applying for a credit card so I declined the offer.
