The process took 1 day. I interviewed at TJ Maxx (Southbury, CT) in Feb 2012
Interview
I went to a TJ Maxx Job Fair last Tuesday with my sister. We greeted a man, who asked us to fill out applications in a pretty room with refreshments. Because we came near the end of the fair, there was only one other person applying there. Once we handed him our applications, he gave them each to a different hiring manager, who brought us into a room to be interviewed.
The woman that interviewed me was very nice; she joked with me and asked me if I was nervous. She made me feel really comfortable. She asked things like "What does customer service mean to you?", and answered all the questions I had about the job. She explained the dress code to me, told me that since they're opening a new store they're over-hiring, talked about what they're looking for, as well as gave me information about orientation, and a letter from the general manager explaining how if I'm selected I'll receive an offer within two weeks.
This was my first job interview ever, and it was so much easier than I expected it would be. I hope I'll get a call!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe a time where you had to balance things in your life?
I went in-person to apply and filled out an application. Two weeks later, I received a phone call to come in for an interview. The interview was in a group setting with one manager and 5 other applicants. It was the easiest interview of my life. Unless you say that you hate customers, you should receive an offer.

Interview
I applied online and got a email 1 1/2 to 2 weeks later asking to set up an interview. I called and set it up. Went overall pretty well. The questions required you to think but they weren't really hard questions. Nice manager and employees, I really really hope I ace it and get the opportunity to work for TJ maxx

After submitting my application online through the app [Snagajob], I received a telephone call the next couple days for an interview.
Met with the manager and retail associate in the back room/office at the TJ Maxx.

Some examples are:

When's the earliest you can start?
Do you know anything about TJ Maxx?
Do you have any experience in retail?
Do you feel comfortable offering the TJ Maxx credit card to customers at checkout?
The interview is about 30 minutes. You're asked to fill out a worksheet- job experience, etc.
Don't forget to bring your resume and references!
If you do get to the orientation- bring your SSI & ID card
2 days later the manager calls me and asks if I can come to orientation. 12 pm SHARP!
