I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at JCPenney (DePointford, NJ) in June 2012
Interview
At first you are contacted by a management member for a phone interview. If they would like to move forward after the phone interview you will be scheduled with a 1:1 interview with a dept lead/manager. If both phone interview, 1:1, and a background check are successful you will interview with the Store Manager or "lead" as they say in the JCP world.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney
Interview
It was lengthy, had to interview with the operations manager, beauty manager, field education manager, and someone else and took about 3 weeks from start to finish. Its very important to ask questions at the end to show interest. My favorite is 'what would be the best quality for me to excel in the position?'
