I applied online. I interviewed at Kirkland's (Spring Hill, FL) in May 2014
Interview
My interview was very brief and I was given maybe ten minutes of their time despite having completely open availability and fitting the qualifications given to me while applying. I was told to try to sell my interviewers a very large, 3-ft long ceramic pig to go in a dining room, but I was not asked any other questions. I was told they would call with a decision in a few days, but instead I got no phone call or contact of any kind. I felt as if they had no interest in me to begin with and wonder why I was even invited to the interview.
