I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TJ Maxx (Madison, WI) in Sept 2014
Interview
met outside of the tj inside the mall. Sat on a bench and was asked rather easy and general questions. And it was very brief and informal. Got a call soon after and was working within the next few weeks.
Simple basic behavioral, come prepared witg examles of how you gave customer service in previous scenarios even if not from job. Know a little bit about the company and your golden
It was a two parter, one on the phone, and one in person. It was a typical interview with the standard "why do you want to work here" and then what they expect from you as a employee.
Very straightforward and simple. It was a phone call with the hiring manager. Super easy peasy, nothing to stress about. Just be confident and kind. It took all of maybe half an hour, maybe less.
