It can be a long process to get an interview and even to start working. I was hired nearly a month before I started working and I heard stories from other coworkers that they had a similar experience or even had to wait a longer period of time. Originally, I applied online, and waited two weeks with no contact from a hiring manager. I later walked into a store and asked to speak to the manager to see when I could interview. She told me about a hiring event happening that day. The hiring event happened at a new store where about 100 candidates fought for just several open positions in the district's stores that were hiring. I was lucky enough to win a spot and within the month I had been hired and the paperwork done, yet I had to wait even longer to start training (about 6-8 weeks after hiring date).
