I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Payless ShoeSource
Interview
I got a call from the regional hiring manager, who asked me general behavioural questions. Nothing unexpected, it was quite straight forward. He also asked me about my previous experience and why I would like to work at Payless. I got another call asking me to meet with the manager of the store who asked me more situational type questions.
