I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Big Lots (Phoenix, AZ) in Oct 2013
Interview
Applied on Indeed.com and heard back from the Store Manager within one week and had an interview set up with him in the next couple days. Had the interview, he was very professional, took the time to explain his expectations and the job in detail. He then set up an interview with in DM and had the interview. It was very similar to the one with in Store Manager. The DM then called me a few days later and offered me the job. Background check took about 5 - 7 days and started right away.
Simple, almost like a conversation so it should be pretty easy if you just talk normally. The manger made it pretty relaxed, described the job and the tasks the we would do etc.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Big Lots
Interview
It was pretty straight forward. I applied online, then a recruiter called and interviewed me. They asked basic interview questions such as; what would I do in a particular situation and what was my weakest area. I was then called in and interviewed by the DM. The recuriter called again and offered me a position.
Interviewed with Store Manager, then with District Manager. They asked me to complete a paper application. Then they told me they would let me know in about a week. I recieved a call the next week that they were going to move forward and submit my information to their HR department.
