I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Hallmark (Bonita, CA) in Jul 2017
Interview
I applied online, they emailed me back the next day asking to set up a phone interview I didn't see the email, so they called me to set up a phone appointment. I went through the phone interview after studying questions on Glassdoor and was completely prepared. After the phone interview two days later I got an email asking for a person to person interview. I went to the person to person interview and got an email the next day saying I was hired.

Question 1
Make sure you watch the video because you have to be able to repeat back what you saw on the video of what the job entails. They want to make sure you're aware the job is only 15 hours a week and that you have your own transportation.
Very easy. I had a scheduled phone appointment. I was asked very basic situational questions. I was offered a job at the end of the call. It was a good job.
A 15-minute phone interview is usually a quick, casual chat to see if you're a good fit before moving forward. It starts with a short intro and maybe a little small talk, then they’ll ask you to talk about your background and experience. After that, they might throw in a couple questions about your skills or how you’ve handled things at work. They’ll also tell you a bit about the job and the company. Near the end, you’ll get a chance to ask a question or two, and they’ll let you know what comes next. It’s more of a vibe check than a deep dive, so no need to stress too much.

Interview
It was a conversational phone interview manner. The interviewer was kind and informational. They were easy to talk to and it was short and to the point. They asked me when I would be available to start work and if I could do the job duties.
