Initially filled out application in-store, after inquiring and learning they were indeed hiring. Within one day, received phone call from that store manager, who supplied me with phone number of HR manager. She told me to call to set up interview right away. I called, left message. Next day, i heard back from the HR contact, I told her I would be out of town for a week, and would call her upon my return; she agreed, as they were working on opening new location in Manhattan that very week and she was busy. Upon my return, I reached out; left a message. No return call. Few days later, called again. We arranged to meet at the store that I originally picked up application. On the given interview date and time, I went in; waited several minutes, was told she was there but "busy." Twenty minutes after I'd arrived, a store manager greeted me and sat down with my application for an interview. (No explanation as to where the HR person went to.) We had pleasant conversation; he indicated he thought I was strong candidate but all I had to do still was meet with the HR manager. He said I should hear from her within that week. As the week went on, nothing. I followed-up with a call, left message. She called me back, and we arranged to meet uptown, at the new location. When that day arrived, I traveled up to the new store, asked for her. I was told she'd left for the day. I left my name and number and word that I was there for an interview. The store associate who took the info was very apologetic, and said I should hear from her soon. Days went by; nothing, not to mention not an apology for standing me up for the SECOND interview. After about a week, I called left a message, stating it would just be professional for her to return a call, as I was fielding other offers and interviews for part time jobs. Within two days of that, I stopped by the original store where I picked up the application. The manager who met with me recognized me and came over to speak, asking if I'd met with the HR woman yet. I explained to him the course of events over the past month or so. He too, was apologetic, and mentioned the new store as the distraction. I politely agreed but suggested that as a hiring manager, it's just proper to get back to people, especially when you stand them up a couple times. I asked for the district manager's name and address, and although the associates were nice enough to supply me with the info, I could tell they were surprised that I would ask for the info. The very next day (surprise), I received a call from the HR rep, telling me that the Dumbo, Brooklyn manager was looking for a part-time candidate. She set up an interview for me. In the next couple days, i sat down with the managers of the Brooklyn store, and had what I thought were perfect interview conversations; I answered all their questions thoughtfully and they complimented me on several of my answers. No phone call after, no word. First week of May, I received a post card in the mail noting that there were no positions open for my skills at this time, and my information would be kept on file.
