I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at World Market (Charlotte, NC) in Oct 2014
Interview
I submitted an application for seasonal work online. I received a call for an interview a few days later and the interview was set for the next day. It was an extremely quick process. The interview was a group format where we were split off into pairs and had to introduce each other to the group. It was pretty strait forward and I was hired on the spot :) I also learned a lot about the company - you might want to bring something to take notes with. Some other tips are to look around the store a bit before the interview, as you will have to talk about items in the store, and to bring a copy of your resume.

I applied for the job online and got a call from the hiring manager, I think the same day. The call was basically an interview for about 10 mins, and then they said they would call me back later. When they called me back soon after, they told me I had gotten the job.

Interview
Super quick and informal but I got a very good idea of the overall store and atmosphere. Sat & chatted with a manager for about 20 minutes. They have a list of questions they ask from. All were straight forward and not too hard.
