I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Big Lots (Columbus, OH) in Aug 2012
Interview
I applied online and received an email from a recruiter requesting a phone interview. Her assistant scheduled one a week later and I didn't hear from the recruiter at all! She stood me up. I contacted her and didn't hear a thing, so I contacted her assistant and she set up another day/time (she didn't apologize or anything either.) So, the next interview day/time came around and once again, I am stood up. Very frustrated...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was easy as pie as it didn't occur in the first place.
Phone interview with HR representative. Second interview with the Senior Buyer and DMM. I followed up through a phone call and an email with no response back. Very unprofessional! When you take the time to interview someone, have the common courtesy to provide feedback. That is part of your job in HR.
