      Allocator Interview

      19 Sept 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Plano, TX
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney (Plano, TX) in Jul 2015

      Interview

      Interview went process was as expected. I met with 5 different people. 4 of which seemed knowledgable and asked typical interview questions. 1 person kept bringing up 9/11 since she lived in New Jersey and I'm from New York. She kept saying that's why she left and questioned me on why I left. She seemed concerned as to why I was looking to leave my current job in another state after 8 months and why I am not going back to New York. It was odd and a little uncomfortable since she didn't ask any other relevant job questions. I never received return communication on whether I got the job or not.

      Question 1

      Stated they had a process in place and how Would I adapt to that.
