I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dillard's (Richmond, VA) in Jan 2012
Interview
I was called by a hiring manager to make an appointment for an interview. I was asked several questions on the phone and then set up a time to come in and apply on their computer with a 1:1 interview after completing their application. I arrived 5 minutes early and was directed to the computer. Their antiquated computer slowed down the process of completing their application. This process took approximately 20 minutes. After I finished, I was directed back to the "receptionist". Her attitude was poor. She took my resume and proceeded to read it. I asked if I should take a seat and await the interview. She said all the managers were in a meeting and she didn't know when they would be finished. I replied that I had an appointment for an interview. She said I could wait an hour or more, or I could leave......she "didn't care". I left and went home and wrote a letter to the store manager expressing my dislike for their hiring process. I told him that it was the most unprofessional situation I had encountered in my job search and to remove my application and resume from their records. That was over a week ago and I have not heard back from anyone in that company.
Other Sales Associate Interview Reviews for Dillard's
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.
