      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at TJ Maxx

      Interview

      Asked about availability and we chatted about that for a bit, also asked me a little bit about myself but that felt more like a conversation than an interview. Seemed mostly concerned about availability, which makes sense due to them being a bit understaffed.

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TJ Maxx (Boston, MA) in Mar 2016

      Interview

      fill out the application, answer some basic questions about availability and previous experience. They kinda desperate due to pretty high turnover, so they don't ask for much. All you need to do is to show that you're a responsible, outgoing and friendly team player. There was a lot of questions about customer service and ability to convince people to apply for their cards. After one interview with hiring manager i was offered a position.

      It was a two parter, one on the phone, and one in person. It was a typical interview with the standard "why do you want to work here" and then what they expect from you as a employee.
