I applied online. I interviewed at TJ Maxx in May 2017
Interview
Typical behavioral based retail questions. The first interview was with a recruiter. She was very nice, cordial easy to speak with. I was passed on to the next level of interviews but declined. Something just felt off with the communication between their recruiting and field management team. I live in another state and they didn't pass that info on to their DM. I got an email from him to his recruiters wondering why we couldn't meet face to face. That type of information was pretty pertinent. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my interview because my wife went into labor. They wanted to reschedule for another day, but the only day they could do it was the day I was moving out of state, picking up family from the airport and taking my newborn in for his checkup. before we left. Pretty set appointments that I just couldn't change. She seemed a little put off that I wasn't able to do it that day. I literally could have done it at any other time on any other day. She told me that I could get a hold of my recruiter when I was settled. Her vibe just came off for lack of a better word, weird. It just didn't feel right so I withdrew. I believe that jobs go both ways. They should appreciate what you bring to the table, and you should appreciate that they are giving you an opportunity to grow with their organization. And that is not how it came across.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you motivate your team? Tell me about a time you worked with an under performer.
Quick to respond to application. Applied and was contacted on the same day and scheduled interview within the week. Looking forward to the communication continuing and seeing where this goes.
There were 5 Hiring Managers Interviewing 30 People who had made it thru the initial screening process. About 10 people there including myself were over 40. Most looked to be in their 20s and were not professionally dressed some looked like they came directly from the park. They were also hiring for assistant managers with a minimum of 2 years experience. It takes a lot to run a store even with support staff. I was not asked much in way of questions or scenarios. There was a salary range given. I think I looked too expensive and they preferred young and cheap.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TJ Maxx in May 2022
Interview
Application to interview and second level went very quickly (less than two weeks) and then nothing. I was told they needed to fill the position quickly and they would update me by the end of the week...three weeks ago. No rejection notice but that position was closed.
