The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pier 1 Imports in Nov 2011
Interview
i filled out an in-store application (which was nice, simple, and very comfortable) and had a brief in-person quasi-interview with the manager on duty who briefly explained the position and hours to me and told me she would be in touch. about a week and a half later she called me and asked me if i could come in for an interview thursday of that week, explained to me that it would be a group interview and role-playing will be involved. it was an interactive and comfortable environment and we were all told we would be contacted within the next few days.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
what was a problem you had in your previous workplace and how did you resolve it?
I interviewed at Pier 1 Imports (Fort Collins, CO)
Interview
It was about 30 minutes long. The manager asked me basic questions about myself and the job. He wanted to know my availability and if I were able to unload the truck due to the boxes being heavy.
Simple and transparent process. After applying, was asked to come in to interview in person. Interview was professional and took around 45 minutes. Heard back from hiring manager within a week.
