I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kohl's (Saint Petersburg, FL) in Feb 2011
Interview
I applied back in November online for Kohls, and I completely forgot about the application. I received a voicemail from one of the reps in February asking if I'd like to come in and get interviewed two days later. I called back and accepted. I went in two days later and everyone was very nice, I had a group interview that consisted of five people including myself and the Human Resources guy. The interview was about 30 minutes long and we were asked about 8 questions, going around in a circle. After the interview, the HR guy had us fill out a packet of paper work and said he would be in touch within the week. I didn't think I was going to get offered a job, because everyone was experienced and I am not. Three days later, he called and said that my background check came back great and he wanted to offer me a job as a Sales associate. I accepted! Orientation is today, and I'm very excited/nervous about the cashiering bit of the job. But I have felt so comfortable in the Kohl's environment so far, so I am hoping it will be smooth sailing from here.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Have you ever dealt with a difficult co-worker? If so, explain.
Very easy! They asked about my experience and ask me a few behavioral questions and then discuss about the role. The manager was really nice and really enjoyed it as a first job!
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.
The interview process was pretty straightforward, virtual interview a week after applying. Didn't have many issues or anything confusing. I did ended up working there. Managers were ok but pay was pretty low.
