I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Payless ShoeSource
Interview
I got a call for an interview about a week after applying. She asked the typical 'name a time when' questions. I hate those and don't have work experience so they're hard to answer for me. She asked about my availability, willing to relocate, and future plans. I have no priorities so I thought I'd be a good fit. It didn't last too long and they didn't seem too excited by me. Hopefully I will get better with time.
