I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DICK'S Sporting Goods (Christiansburg, VA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I applied online, and then a few days later a woman called me and asked me to come in for an interview the next day. She didn't seem very nice on the phone, so that should have been my first warning. So, I got to my interview and waited for a few minutes and then the girl comes out and introduces herself to me, and STILL doesn't seem too friendly. We started the interview, and right off the bat she made me uncomfortable because she acted like she didn't even want to be there. It seemed like she wanted the interview to end before it even started. I honestly don't think she smiled the entire time she was talking to me. Basically she had a packet of LITERALLY like 20 questions that it seemed like she just pulled off of the internet. It felt like I was in school and I was being graded or something. I knew how to answer most of the questions, but a few of them caught me off guard because they seemed like weird things to be asking someone who was just applying to be an apparel associate at a sporting goods store. So basically what I'm saying is, if you're planning on applying to the one in Christiansburg, VA and a girl that doesn't sound very friendly answers the phone, just be prepared.

After submitting my application online, I got a call about 2-3 days later to set up an interview for the following week. I came in for my interview and found an associate to let them know I was here for an interview, they were super friendly, and directed me where to go. The assistant manager conducted my interview. They ask the usual "textbook" interview questions. Lots of questions about different types of scenarios.
