I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Belk (Gaffney, SC) in Sep 2016
Interview
I received a telephone call saying that they had reviewed my resume and were curious as to what days and hours I could work and if I would be able to work holidays. Since I had no retail experience I was asked if seasonal sales associate would be okay and that after the season was over that there was a good chance that I could be hired on permanently. The manager was very friendly and the whole conversation was very low pressure. She asked me to come in the store the next day. I came in and she told me about the Belk credit card program, loss prevention, and Store locator. She asked if I was okay with all of that. We ended up talking about family and traveling experiences. By the end of the meeting it felt like she was a old friend. She told me that she would let me know later that day after talking to HR and another manager (I think). She called me around 3:30 pm to offer me the job and .25 more an hour that I had asked for. I was very happy with the whole experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If I was okay with sales policy and the hours set. It was more of a meeting to see what your personality is like and what you wanted and if that fit with what they needed.
I was briefly interviewed, they only asked questions regarding availability and job preference. The interviewer seemed uninterested and was late to meet with me. It was an awkward interaction and negative experience.
Was easy and straight words, gave typical scenarios and what you would do in them. Discussed seasonal prep and opportunities for advancement after the season. Nice woman and explained everything well
The interviewer asked me a few questions about what I wanted to do at Belk. She asked a couple of questions about myself then concluded the interview. She was also late for the interview and made me just stand around in the middle of the store as I waited.
