I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Loblaw Companies (Ottawa, ON) in Aug 2012
Interview
I applied online and I got a call 3 weeks later telling me to fill out a questionnaire with psychological type questions. A few weeks after that I got a phone interview where they ask you about your availability and limitations. After this I think it was 1 month after I got a call from the store that I applied to saying they wanted an interview. The in-store interview was very casual, they didn't ask any "real" interview questions just conversational type things like what you do in your spare time...etc. I got the job right there.
Easy and straightforward, fairly quick met with the dept manager and discussed the role, what to expect, what work related experience you had, scenario based questions, why you wanna work for the company, where you see yourself in 5 years, are you a student what kind of hours can you work

There was no formal interview conducted during the hiring process. I met directly with the manager, completed a required form, and was hired immediately following our brief interaction without further assessment or evaluation.
it was very simple, three to five questions about experience working with others in teams and alone and with customers in other jobs. asked about working style and classic "tell me about yourself"
