The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Dillard's in Jul 2011
Interview
I received a phone call the same day I applied. She set up an interview with the children's department manager two days later. I get there, and the manager had no idea he had an interview! Very disorganized; no communication. He really didn't ask me any questions, just told me about the position. I'm not sure why they ask which area you choose to work, because you have to "prove" yourself to work in certain departments. You can ONLY start in a select few departments (children's, home, etc.). This manager was interested in hiring me, and said he would pass the information along for another interview with a different manager up to two weeks later. After hearing the details (Sales per hour, department-promotion process, etc.), not sure I'm too interested in this job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you just wanting to work here until something else comes along?
Standard interview, quite short (20 minutes) for the first round. Asked about past experience, sales skills, expected pay, and my future goals at the company. Interviewers were very nice and welcoming, made the experience much less intimidating!
Not sure what to expect. When I spoke to the manager it felt very condescending and off putting. The interview was fine but they exaggerated the amount of commission associates can make and didn’t even give me a chance to agree to a job offer just assumed that I would take it. I don’t have very high hopes about how it will be working there. When I came in for my interview one associate didn’t even greet me like she did the last customer and the energy of the atmosphere just felt super dull and soulless. I need this job on my resume as a fashion business student for internships so I’ll push through but not at all optimistic about the work environment.
