I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at World Market (San Diego, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I found the job listed on Craigslist and I called the store right away. I was urged to apply online and then show up at the store for a job fair style interview the following week. The day of my interview I walked around the store while two others sat through their interviews. I brought my resume and was interviewed by two individuals on the sales floor in a fairly quiet area of the store. I was asked about my prior experience, how I've handled a difficult customer and if I had ever had a dispute with a supervisor and how I handled that situation. They also asked how I would handle department specific duties and what I thought my references would say about me. We also talked about what hours I was available to work and how much pay I was looking for. My actual interview took about half an hour. I felt really good about how I answered and I tried to keep the atmosphere fun and upbeat even though I was super nervous.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at World Market in May 2011
