I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney (Fresno, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
Group interview of about 8 people. The interviewer asked one question and expected everyone to answer by taking turns. The interview lasted about 30-45 minutes. It was kind of intense because the people who really wanted the job wanted to stand out.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at JCPenney (Tempe, AZ)
Interview
It was in a very professional and comfortable setting in the store. And it was conducted with the store and salon manager at that location. Both of the managers were kind and professional.
It was a group interview which led to an individual interview with a supervisor. If you pass the first round you have a higher chance of getting hired on for a position
Interview process went smoothly. Asked behavioral questions and situational questions that catered to how you deal with a variety of customer personalities. Also asked about previous employment roles. Offered a job on the first interview.
