I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Michaels (Alexandria, VA) in Aug 2013
Interview
I was called two weeks before the interview. It was basically an instant hire for seasonal, the store manager didn't even do any training or orientation, never did a W4 was just given a packet of information and hired. The store manager randomly assigned positions based upon no factors whatsoever. She would hire people with no cashiering experience and put them on the register. While taking people with register experience and put them in the backroom.
describe a challenging moment in your career and how you reacted to it. I said one time i had a conflict with someone and then we were able to resolve it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Michaels (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2025

Done over the phone, just a simple phone screening talking with the Store Manager. It was fairly short, only around 15-20 minutes. The manager asked about experience on my resume, as well as my availability.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Michaels (Sequim, WA) in Oct 2025

Easy. I walked in the store to ask if they had any job openings, and the manager interviewed me on the spot, and offered me a job. I submitted an application afterwards.
