I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Earthbound Trading (Gatlinburg, TN) in July 2013
Interview
I had two interviews. One with the assistant manager, and one with the general manager a few days later. We just met in the break room, and they asked me pretty simple questions about me, my personality and work effort, and my skills related to retail.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation where you went above and beyond for a customer.
The manager was condescending and spoke badly about the other employees throughout the interview. He was kind to me, but it let me know he would eventually be condescending towards me.
A simple 15 minutes of questions, ask about sales experience and loss and prevention. Get a call back within a day or two. It was a good and immersive process.
