I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Michaels in May 2010
Interview
I filled out an application online. Got a call a couple months later from a local Store Manager who finally had a couple of openings and he asked me if I was still looking to work at Michaels. I was, so he scheduled me for an in-person interview the next day. I met him then and we spoke at length- the interview ended up lasting about 2 hours! All I needed was to pass a background check and I'd hear back from him soon. I guess all my interview preparation paid off because I was hired and started training less than a week after the in-person interview. Overall, I found the process to be very straightforward and simple.
Do you prefer to work with a group or as an individual contributer? Tell me about a time when you had to convince someone in your team to change gears because they weren't pulling their weight.
describe a challenging moment in your career and how you reacted to it. I said one time i had a conflict with someone and then we were able to resolve it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Michaels (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2025
Interview
Done over the phone, just a simple phone screening talking with the Store Manager. It was fairly short, only around 15-20 minutes. The manager asked about experience on my resume, as well as my availability.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Michaels (Sequim, WA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Easy. I walked in the store to ask if they had any job openings, and the manager interviewed me on the spot, and offered me a job. I submitted an application afterwards.
