I applied online. I interviewed at JCPenney (Phoenix, AZ) in June 2017
Interview
The interview was a group interview and the interviewer who was the location's manager said she was hiring solely off of one's personality. She said she did no care about previous employment or skills. Towards the end of the interview she said her assistant would contact us the next regarding whether or not we had received the job, I never got a call back, so I am disappointed.
It was fairly straightforward and easy. The woman I interviewed with was nice and not very intimidating. They took about a week to get back with me about an interview after I applied for the position.
I applied online. I interviewed at JCPenney (Alpharetta, GA) in Sept 2024
Interview
I was contacted by email about my application. Contacted HR Supervisor and scheduled an interview date and time. Met with HR the next day for an in person interview. Very informative conversation with HR Supervisor.
Very efficient and the interviewer was very nice and gave me a lot of time to answer questions. The questions were not hard and they were very manageable. It was more so a discussion rather than an interview.
