I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hallmark (Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I applied online and received an email a few days later stating that I could schedule a phone interview at any of the times listed on the link in the email. I chose the earliest interview time slot (8:45AM) and it was scheduled for a week from that day. That day I received a call exactly at 8:45AM. The interviewer was very nice and asked me a few simple questions. I was prepared because I wrote down question that were common based on what others said on here for the position. She told me the manager would review the information and email me if I was chosen. That evening I received an email offering me the job! I had to call a phone number, so that I could confirm my acceptance of the job offer. I then received an email to fill out paper work. The following day my supervisor contacted me and we scheduled a time to meet for training.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did you leave your last job?
Do you have any other work experience that would qualify you for the position? Would you be able to start within 2 week? Where do you see yourself in 2-3 years?
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.
