I applied online. I interviewed at World Market (Lawrence, KS) in Oct 2015
Interview
It was a group interview first with about 8-10 others. The store manager just wanted us to get to know him and what was expected out of employees. It was extremely laid back and he did most of the talking
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was the most exciting thing you did over the summer
Easy! Was professional, engaging, and made the experience comfortable. They asked insightful questions, actively listened, and provided clear insights about the role. I left feeling motivated and excited about the opportunity
The process started with a relaxed group interview conducted by two different managers. Typical interview questions were asked such as "What makes you qualified for this position?", "Why are you interested in Cost Plus?", etc. Follow-up individual interview with GM after the group interview and was offered the job on the spot. Managers made the process very comfortable and relaxed compared to other interviews.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at World Market in Oct 2018
Interview
My manager was really kind and personable. She showed me around the store and explained the job thoroughly after the initial introduction. It was the least nerve-wracking interview I've ever had.
