15 minute phone interview. More than one year ago, I applied for the retail merchandiser position in another city/town, but moved and got a different part-time job. I updated my new address with Hallmark and forgot about it until I got an email from a recruiter stating there was an opening in my neighborhood. I recently quit my job, so this was perfect timing. I replied to the email, had to fill out my info in a link and watch a video about the position. I got an email about selecting a time for a phone interview which was about a week later. Phone interview (older, nice lady in U.S.)was scripted and easy. I was told the position's tasks and responsibilities, which I had to repeat back, and were asked questions why I want to work for Hallmark, why a part-time position, and a few other questions. I was told the position pays $10/hr, but I asked for $11, especially since my last job paid $11.50, and I didn't want to earn much less than that. I wasn't told on the phone if I got the job, and that I had to wait for an email. A few days later I got an email with the job offer, which I had to reply to accept and then call a phone # to speak with someone (call center in India). Then I had to fill out HR forms online before I got a call from the area supervisor to meet in person to check/confirm my ID/SS# and a quick tour of the Hallmark section in a grocer store. Then I got an email a week later from the trainer to meet in person for training, which is about 5-7 days, about 3 hours each day with other new employees, rotating among their assigned stores and my stores. So far, so good.
