I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dillard's in Jan 2009
Interview
Sent in resume to be considered, awaited phone call. Went in for initial interview, laid back seemed like a great company to work for. Discussed career path, goals, experiences, schooling etc. Called back for a second interview with second management person. More formal, a little more intense quick interview. Waited for phone call, came back in again.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dillard's (Little Rock, AR) in Oct 2022
Interview
It was a very easy interview. Two interview rounds one with DMM's and one with the Buyer. Very laid back, they go off of your resume and ask you questions about your experience and your skills. It felt more like a conversation rather than an interview
Fairly straightforward, only one round. Ask mostly about the candidate's traits and how it fits into the role. In general they just want to get to know you deeper and if you are a good fit for the role and company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How can your previous experiences fit into the role?
They don’t ask a single buying question. They also were very nice in the interview but did nothing ask a lot to pertain to the actual position. Was an ok experience.
