I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Belk (California, MD) in Nov 2016
Interview
Human Resources from local branch called about a week after I summited my resume to set up an interview. I had my interview with the store's General Manager. GM asked me several personality and work related questions, as well as my availability. GM also reviewed what is expected from me in the workplace (ie. job requirements, tasks, etc.). The interview ended with the GM telling me to expect a call about setting up an orientation date to begin training.

Question 1
If I were to talk to a former employer of yours, what would they say some of your strengths are? Weaknesses?
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.
