I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomingdale's (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Received an email back fairly quickly after applying online. Set up an interview time and was interviewed by 2 managers. It ended up taking about an hour. It wasn’t super intimidating.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
q: what is your availability?
q: how do you interact with customers on the sales floor?
q: where do you see yourself on a team
The interview process wasn’t hard but it was basically long because you had to watch a lot of videos and just wait there for instructions after. But other than that it was quick and easy
It was a group interview process for when they were opening a new store, they then selected candidates for individual interviews that were held the same day. There was a final round on a different day
Two in person interviews with the department manager and you are required also to do a video interview speaking about yourself. It took a week to receive a job offer.
