I applied online. I interviewed at Kohl's (Santa Maria, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
I didn’t even get to the interview process. The interviewer looked at my schedule, noticed that I was a minor and said I had restricted hours and that “it wasn’t going to work out for me.” A complete waste of my time. They should’ve reviewed my application prior to the interview and not called me in for one if I had already put my age and hours in my application. Very unprofessional of them. Not to mention I was well prepared for this interview and truly looking forward to it only to be there for about 10 minutes and then walk out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First thing you do is fill out an availability sheet.
Basic simple interview, mine was over the phone asking availability, why you want to work here, your strengths and weaknesses. They will tell you a little bit about working there and the company and thats about it. Nothing difficult and they will give you scenarios to see how you would handle them.

I applied online. I interviewed at Kohl's (Stockbridge, GA)
Interview
Process was pretty simple and straightforward. Longest part was waiting between the initial application and being selected to schedule an interview, which took about 6 weeks. My phone interview lasted around 20 minutes where they asked the typical questions. I was hired the next day.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Kohl's (Westminster, CO) in Nov 2025
Interview
Got the interview but was told to re-schedule to the next day just 45 mins ahead. Then the manager or supervisor (named Laura) never called back. I don't even bother to call them back because I ended up accepted a better offer from another company.

Question 1
"I will need to re-schedule you to a different day" (45 mins before the interview)
