I applied online. I interviewed at Kohl's (Edwardsville, IL) in Aug 2016
Interview
The interview process went smoothly as it transitioned from a questioning from the HR manager to the assistant manager of the store. The questions asked were your go-to "if this happened, then what would you do" questions with a couple life-experience ones thrown in. Overall, there's no need to prepare for anything as long as you have a good head on your shoulders and can come up with stories on the spot.

Question 1
Describe a time when you were leading a team and realized that the deadline for a project was close to due. How did you manage to pull through?
It was a pretty standard interview with situational questions and they explained the job duties. They also took me around the store to show me around and introduce me to everyone.
Pretty straight forward, the interview was like any other for any clothing company. Pretty quick, from call to being on the job took 1-2 weeks minimum. Though pay wasn’t that great, it was still a good learning experience.

Question 1
If a customer asked for a location of a product what will you do
Fairly easy interview with standard questions about experience and availability. The interviewer was professional and explained the role clearly. I was surprised to learn of evening availability requirements that were not reflected in the availability I submitted on my application.
