      Sales Associate Interview

      Feb 20, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Miami Lakes, FL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TJ Maxx (Miami Lakes, FL) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      I filled out an application online, was contacted a few days later, and I got a interview the following week. There were two managers that interviewed me. The interview went well in my opinion. The impression that I got was that I fitted the bill, but the only hindrance I may have is if there was a better candidate, but that applied to everyone. They called back within a week, and I started orientation the following week. This is my second time working for the company. The questions were overall generic and expectant. My recommendation is to do your research on both the questions AND the company. Be prepared for anything. They look for confidence, decent answers, and overall presentation. Have all of these qualities or more and you are set! Dress professional and be as flexible as you can. Good luck to you!

      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.

      I interviewed at TJ Maxx

      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.
