I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Santee, CA) in June 2011
Interview
I met with the then Mgr. Julie and together we reviewed my history, ethics, etc. Julie was very personable and a was well liked by all staff. She took me around the entire store and described each department and responsibilities in said departments. She clearly explained breaks, lunches, vacation and more.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What were your responsibilities at your last retail job? How long were there?
The Ross cashier interview is brief and straightforward, focusing on customer service, handling busy environments, basic math, availability, and reliability. It often includes situational questions and may be followed by a quick hiring decision.
They ask basic work experience questions, basic problem solving questions, they confirm your availability and let you know you’ll receive an email/ phone call with start date and so on
Thorough and very detailed. It's a particular answer they are looking for. And you will know through the interview if you are doing well. And there are quite a few questions.
