I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hallmark (Dallas-Fort Worth) in Oct 2020
Interview
Well I kind of got recruited I suppose by the woman who is my boss now so my interview process probably went smoother than others. My boss's boss called me and asked me a few questions, first to get to know me a little better, then to test my overall competence for the job I was applying for. In the end, we talked for 20-30 mins and then she offered me the job.

Question 1
The one question that kind of threw me off was when she asked me if I had ever been in a certain kind of situation with a past job, and if so how did I deal with it, and what was the end result. Its been several years since that interview so unfortunately I can't remember exactly what the situation was, but I remember it was a darn good question. I even said wow that's a great question! LOL!
Filled out an application on their website. Had an zoom meeting interview with a hiring representative. Filled out forms for HR & then met with a supervisor in person to finalize my paperwork.
Phone screening & interview. Explained role asked questions about location, comfortablity driving to different stores & customer service. How do you stay organized/manage your day? Overall it was a decent interview.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Hallmark (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The interview process was pleasant and not complicated. Once I applied online, I received an email requesting a phone interview. I met verbally with a member of the management team, who was cheerful and easy to talk to.
I was asked what brought me to the company, why I'd make a good merchandiser, and my strengths. I was informed about extensive hours during holidays, training, and other requirements. I was then offered the position and told my direct supervisor would be in touch.
By the way, virtual training was thorough and provided full compensation for my time.
