      Seasonal Sales Associate Interview

      Oct 14, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Arlington, TX
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Michaels (Arlington, TX) in Sep 2015

      Interview

      I applied to be a team member/cashier and got a call back about a week later. The hiring manager was really nice and asked basic questions. I never got called back after the interview but it was okay because it was my first interview and I needed the experience. As for advice, make sure to follow up a week after submitting the application and a week after the interview. Also, before entering the interview, make sure that you know who you are. Some of the questions may cause you to introspect for an answer that only you could know. For my interview, I dressed in professional attire, but I'm pretty sure that you could just wear something casual. Good luck to all you Job Seekers!

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Michaels

      Interview

      Lots of paperwork. Had to fill out a form that asked questions about family utilizing SNAP, benefits, etc which seemed very invasive. A mandatory assessment that asked the same questions over and over. Then silence for weeks. No communication until finally told they aren't recruiting for the role.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Michaels (Augusta, GA) in Oct 2023

      Interview

      Very brief. Big emphasis on availability and whether you’ll also be available to work the store’s truck shift— if you’re able to, you’re more than likely going to be picked over someone who can’t. You’ll asked if you have reliable transportation, a little about yourself and any retail experience, whether you’re comfortable asking customers to sign up for rewards and apply for the credit card, and you have to understand after a certain date it’s blackout so you can’t call out. So if you’re unable to work Black Friday or have vacation days planned already for Oct, Nov & Dec. you won’t be picked. Which is understandable because it’s peak season and that’s the main reason they’re hiring you. If you choose to be kept on, you have an opportunity for a pay increase.
