I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Michaels (Cedar Hill, TX) in Nov 2013
Interview
It was mostly a meet and greet. Matching a face to the application. I initially applied for a different position, thinking there was no way I could become a framer if I was not certified. As it turns out they have no problem training you for the position. It seemed like while the store manager had an endless number of tasks to accomplish, she took the time to let me know she appreciated my time as much as hers. After. She was happy with my answers, she called in the framing manager and he asked more industry related questions. As long as you know the basics about art and or design, the interview will go smoothly. Don't overthink it, it is a strait forward process.
Brief with Frame Manager and other associate. Manager needed worker desperately and I was very competent and needed a job desperately. I was very familiar with fine art handling and framing, the job was easy to get.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Michaels in Apr 2017
Interview
I was called to come in for an interview but when I arrived the manager was caught up with regional managers that had arrived that day. He rescheduled a week later. When I showed up the next week he was again busy with a pressing matter and rescheduled for the following Tuesday. When I showed up the following Tuesday he was again busy with another matter and instead of a formal interview told me that he appreciated my willingness to come in and interview and offered me a job right on the spot.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Michaels in Sep 2014
Interview
I applied online and received a call about a month later. I did the general application, but was chosen for a framing interview because of my degree in art (BA). The lady giving the interview was very friendly. She showed me a piece of art, then had me select several mats and frames that would look good -- a test of color and design competency. She told me that corporate needed someone who could do a hard sell on the more expensive frame choices. She asked me if I was that person (I'm not, and she said she wasn't either actually). She also needed someone to work primarily weekends, which I wasn't overly enthusiastic about. I was one of three candidates for the position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to upsell customers to more expensive frames, even if a cheaper frame is a better design?
