Lots of paperwork. Had to fill out a form that asked questions about family utilizing SNAP, benefits, etc which seemed very invasive. A mandatory assessment that asked the same questions over and over. Then silence for weeks. No communication until finally told they aren't recruiting for the role.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Michaels (Sanford, FL) in Sept 2024

After submitting my application, I quickly received a call for an interview. The interview process was smooth and straightforward. The manager I spoke with was incredibly kind, approachable, and personable. She took her time to thoroughly explain the role and responsibilities in great detail, which I greatly appreciated.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Michaels (Augusta, GA) in Oct 2023
Interview
Very brief. Big emphasis on availability and whether you’ll also be available to work the store’s truck shift— if you’re able to, you’re more than likely going to be picked over someone who can’t. You’ll asked if you have reliable transportation, a little about yourself and any retail experience, whether you’re comfortable asking customers to sign up for rewards and apply for the credit card, and you have to understand after a certain date it’s blackout so you can’t call out. So if you’re unable to work Black Friday or have vacation days planned already for Oct, Nov & Dec. you won’t be picked. Which is understandable because it’s peak season and that’s the main reason they’re hiring you. If you choose to be kept on, you have an opportunity for a pay increase.
