I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel (Plano, TX)
Interview
I actually applied online and got a call to come to an open house they were having for hiring seasonal help. When I went to the open house, the interviewer seemed more interested in talking about his experience and how he had done so well at Crate and Barrel in a 2 year period and how he found what his job calling.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions the interviewer asked were scripted. The usual ones why do you want to work here, describe yourself in a couple of words. But the question that I did not expect was "can you lift 65 pounds" being older (early 60's) I said I would be in traction the next day if I did....so then he asked me if I could lift 50 pounds. I don't know why he would ask that....it was humiliating the 2nd time he asked it. The next day I got an email that said I was over qualified for the job.
