For a seasonal position the only thing that matters is whether or not you will donate every fiber of your being to the company for the holidays. Christmas doesn't matter. Thanksgiving? You should be at work at 10pm on Thanksgiving. If you are fine with this then proceed. They will call you into the back room which is usually clean at the start of the hiring process, but that's a lie. They clean it to make it seem more organized so that when things begin to fall apart they can point the blame at someone else to pressure them into performing better. You will be asked about your previous retail experience. They might even talk about your personal life a little. They don't really care, but they want you to answer honestly so they will try to make you feel as comfortable as possible to get truthful responses. The actual interview is pretty standard. What do you know and how well do you actually know it? They may run through a few scenarios with you. You might feel like you did a good job at the end of it, but you won't know unless you actually get the job. They don't bother to call interviewees back if you didn't get the position. When you do get brought in for a second level interview (some locations do these) they will put you together in teams and make you feel like you belong. For some people and some stores that works, but for others its a very awkward role playing scenario that just makes the new-to-retail people feel like they're playing house. It's not a horrible job to have over the holidays, and each location will vary, but the interview process is almost always awkward unless you know the interviewer a bit.
