I applied online. I interviewed at Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (Las Vegas, NV) in Sep 2012
Interview
In was fairly intense for an hourly position (I believe they are looking for strong people, as the level of customer abuse is off the chart). I submitted an application. I received a call for an interview. I interviewed. Waited. Received a Job offer including specific dates and times. When I came in for orientation, they made a mistake on my date/time and would not change. I should have realized their failure to rectify their own mistake was a bad sign.
