I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Marshalls in Oct 2010
Interview
The easiest interview ever. They normally give people a 10 am Saturday Interview, you come in sit down in the back office and they ask you a series of questions. "Tell me about a time when..." ("Tell me about a time you didn't ge along with someone, what did you do? Tell me about a time you did something wrong, what did you do?" Etc. )
They'll ask you about an experience you have, what you liked the most, what you didn't, etc. Ask how much pay your asking for. The basics. Nothing is hard about this interview. In the year and a half I've been with the company they hire every single person they interview. A little odd, lazy or whatever else you can think of. Unless you tell them you plan on stealing you're more than likely to get the job.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about what you did at *fill in the blank here.*
Asked what availability I have for part time seasonal work. Asked about historical job experience, how to handle specific tasks, asked for references. Asked if you can lift to a certain weight and stock items etc.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Marshalls
Interview
Pretty short and straight to the point. Ask you basic scenarios, past work experiences, all that good stuff. They also ask technical questions like are you a us citizen and what not. But overall super easy.
The interview process was quite easy and the interviewers were nice. There was a 10 minute phone screening and then a 20 minute interview with the manager at the store location.
