I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kohl's (Milwaukee, WI) in Oct 2014
Interview
First were on-campus interviews. We were given a case to fill out then talk about during the interview. The interview was basically all behavioral questions. The second was an on-site interview. They gave you a tour of the office, then you met with three different people, all upper executives, (I met with one of the presidents) it was very intimidating.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is something that Kohl's can improve upon? Give me a time where you made a mistake, how did you fix it?
I applied online. I interviewed at Kohl's (Hixon, TN) in Sep 2024
Interview
Very simple and easy. It was a set up virtual interview with the store manager. He asked basic questions and told me to be there the next day for orientation
Very thorough interpersonal interview questions. Asked how you worked in a team and how well you can deal with conflict. Asked how you communicate with customers and how you can deal with difficult customers.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Kohl's (Chattanooga, TN) in Jan 2020
Interview
Overall a very nice and helpful staff. The interview was supposed to be a group interview but I was the only one to show up. So we got started later than I would have liked. The interviewer was laid back and easy to talk to. I would have accepted the job had it not been for the very low wage and the lack of opportunity to raise that wage.
