I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dillard's (Norman, OK) in Sept 2013
Interview
Fill out a form/questionnaire on a computer that is from 1980 then get called back for an interview with a manager. If someone refers you you can pretty much get hired on the spot so try and befriend someone. They also hire on the spot when they really need someone. Dress in business clothes, men with tie, women in slacks or skirt, be friendly and answer the questions very generically - you'll get hired. People came in in t-shirts and still got jobs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When can you start? but really, they're as unnesperienced in this portion as anyone applying. Generic questions like "what's your experience?" , "are you good at approaching people?", etc.
Standard interview, quite short (20 minutes) for the first round. Asked about past experience, sales skills, expected pay, and my future goals at the company. Interviewers were very nice and welcoming, made the experience much less intimidating!
Not sure what to expect. When I spoke to the manager it felt very condescending and off putting. The interview was fine but they exaggerated the amount of commission associates can make and didn’t even give me a chance to agree to a job offer just assumed that I would take it. I don’t have very high hopes about how it will be working there. When I came in for my interview one associate didn’t even greet me like she did the last customer and the energy of the atmosphere just felt super dull and soulless. I need this job on my resume as a fashion business student for internships so I’ll push through but not at all optimistic about the work environment.
Easy, few job related questions. schedual flexability. Shifts avilabiltys, days and holidays avilabilitys. Your job rolle, expectation, traning, education, refrences. Work history and reson for chosing the store. It is a simple easy procces,more like meet and greet.
