I applied online. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Santa Ana, CA) in May 2021
Interview
I applied online at the Ross Careers website. Several days later, I got a call from the assistant manager and we scheduled an interview with the manager the following morning. The interview was relatively easy and laid back, and we just went over some basic stuff like my availability, my prior work experience, my education and classes and how it may interfere with my schedule, what position I would like, and why I would like to work at Ross. Following the interview, they do a background check and if they see you as a good fit, they should call you back within a week after the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's your availability? What prior work experience do you have? What position would you like to work? Why would you like to work for Ross?
it was very pleasant and they will almost always hire you if you are a tolerable person who can work hard and well with others. It would be strange to not hear back from them within a week due to how much demand they usually have for employees.
Very lowkey. They asked basic interview questions. They just wanted to know availability for work and if you’re available during their most busy hours. Nothing super professional, but they want to make sure you’re going to actually come into work.
When arriving, they do accommodate you to sit in the break room while waiting on an interview, which is great because you’re not standing around the store looking crazy. When you get in the back and we’ll meet with the Store Manager or an assistant manager short it seems rushed like they genuinely didn’t have time set aside for interviews. They were trying to move along candidates.

About my availability. Whether nights and weekends were an issue.
