I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dillard's (Norman, OK) in Oct 2011
Interview
I went to customer service to ask for an application and they directed me to a computer to fill out an application, which included one of those annoying personality tests that everyone lies on to get the interview. After I finished applying I called customer service and then they called the Ops Manager to interview me. The interview wasn't like most interviews where they ask you questions like, "Describe an instance where you went above and beyond the requirements of your job?" or "What are two negative things about you?". Instead, she just asked me about school (I had just transferred to my current university) and told me about the various shifts that were considered normal and the departments that most people started out in. After that she told me when I would be starting. It was all very informal and kind of odd for a job interview if I'm being honest.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None really, as she didn't ask much about anything relevant to my job experience.
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.
