I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pier 1 Imports (Wilmington, NC) in Feb 2010
Interview
Met with the store manager first. She asked a lot of behavior questions and what I thought about offering people a Pier 1 Rewards Card. I then met with the Assistant Manager who asked the same questions. They wanted to make sure their new hire was a great fit for the current team. I heard about a week later about receiving the position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioristic question. If a customer is looking for a candle, how could you make their sale even larger?
Simple and transparent process. After applying, was asked to come in to interview in person. Interview was professional and took around 45 minutes. Heard back from hiring manager within a week.
I interviewed at Pier 1 Imports (Fort Collins, CO)
Interview
It was about 30 minutes long. The manager asked me basic questions about myself and the job. He wanted to know my availability and if I were able to unload the truck due to the boxes being heavy.
