I received an email about 2 weeks after applying with a number to call if I was still interested in the position. I called and was given the date of a group interview to attend. The interview was very relaxed, just 5 applicants and two managers sitting in a circle in the furniture department. It lasted about 1.5 hours. The applicants were given the task of finding an item in the store that we would try to sell as an add-on. We had to explain why we would pick it and how the customer would benefit from participating in the rewards program when purchasing this item. After that we were assigned partners, interviewed our partners, and then told the rest of the group about this person and why they would be good for the job. After that we all answered generic interview questions. I received an email notification within the week with a job offer.

How would you personally like to be rewarded for a job well done?
I applied for the job online and got a call from the hiring manager, I think the same day. The call was basically an interview for about 10 mins, and then they said they would call me back later. When they called me back soon after, they told me I had gotten the job.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at World Market (Southlake, TX) in Nov 2022
Interview
Very short, ten to fifteen minutes. Basic questions about your work ethic. Simple, casual, and straightforward. Conducted on one of the tables in the dining furniture section during store hours. Response time is about one to two weeks via email.
I applied online. I interviewed at World Market in Oct 2019
Interview
Super quick and informal but I got a very good idea of the overall store and atmosphere. Sat & chatted with a manager for about 20 minutes. They have a list of questions they ask from. All were straight forward and not too hard.
