I applied online. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Santa Cruz, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Standard questions are given like, what did you like about your previous work experiences, do you work well in a fast pace environment, and what do you like about retail positions . They go over your resume and skills that might transfer over to the retail position.
Basic interview, they aren't super competitive when selecting employees. Just seem eager to work in a team setting and try not to toot your own horn too much and they'll hire you.
They did a group interview where you had to answer questions on customer service and experiences. The interview was simple and wasn’t long, they would call you after a few days to let you know if you got the job.
