I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at World Market (College Station, TX) in Apr 2012
Interview
I applied online and two days later received a call. I had a group interview with a manager and two others a few days later. Manager said they were looking to hire two people and said we would receive an e-mail letting us know if we got the job. I got hired and another college student got hired. The person who did not get hired was asked "what is your weakness in the workplace?." They answered "probably that I work really fast get things done quick but then I have to go back because I forgot to do something. I answered that same question with "my weakness would have to be that I like to do a really thorough job so, it takes me a little bit longer complete a task or a project."
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at World Market (Fort Collins, CO) in Jan 2026
Interview
I was taken to the back and the interview began. The questions were very generic. There was no questions that caught me off guard which was nice. The interview was about 40 minutes long which I thought was shocking but I was nervous at first and the manager made me feel comfortable.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at World Market (Cary, NC) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process was easy and simple. Managers were extremely friendly and kind. They asked very basic questions that were targeted towards your availability and you’re role at the store.
Schedueling conflict. When I showed up the person who was supposed to interview me was not there and someone else had to take over. They seemed unprepared to do conduct an interview.
