I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hobby Lobby (Fayetteville, AR) in Nov 2016
Interview
After a phone interview and 10 references provided, I had an interview with the recruiter. He walked me through the logistical basics about the company and "tried to dissuade" me from applying by being upfront about the challenges. We watched video about some core values and manufacturing techniques they do.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Hobby Lobby (Fort Worth, TX) in May 2026
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter. First step. Explains in detail the description of job and requirements as well as next steps and 10 questions. After you are asked for 6 references including 4 direct reports. This can be a bit hard if you are currently employed but dont want to involve your place of work just yet..so be prepared for this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If ever been let go or terminated from a job.
What is your strongest attribute..
Horrible. Very quick interview scheduled and professional interview but it’s unrealistic to expect 7-10 references that are professional only. Most companies don’t even allow employees to give references so to make that a minimum to move in in today’s world is ridiculous.
The recuiter met me at the door and showed me around the store explaining expectations right off th bat. He then took me to the office and asked me standard interview questions for a leadership position.
