I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at LensCrafters in Jan 2009
Interview
I walked into the store and asked for an application, and whether or not they were hiring. They were swamped, and gave me a form. It included a questionnaire, as well as a call-in pre-interview review. It was all very easy, very normal, and very similar to every other application I had filled out previously.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most unexpected question was to raise my right hand. The job requires knowing left from right, and they had previously hired someone who had major difficulties keeping the two separate.
Relatively standard and generic questions. They also provided me with a tour during one of the interviews and had me meet some of the potential team members. There were a few rounds before they gave an offer, but overall, it was a positive experience.
I did a pre-screening and then 3 additional interviews.
