I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney (Salem, OR) in Apr 2016
Interview
Got a call and was quickly scheduled in for an interview. I was interviewed by the store manager and hr person. It was a little intimidating interviewing in front of two people but overall it wasn’t too bad.
