Team Member to Manager Interview

May 21, 2021

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Kirkland's (Indian Land, SC) in Apr 2019

Interview

I walked in and asked if they were hiring. To my surprise I was talking to the store manager and she asked me when I was available and basically hired me on the spot. After a month I was promoted to assistant store manager then to senior assistant store manager. Interview process was very easy because I worked closely with the store manager.

Interview

in person very quick process. You meet with the hiring manager of the store. I would recommend familiarizing yourself with some of the products. Flexible for college students when it comes to scheduling. Bring a copy of your resume to the interview and the training process does take at least an hour.
