I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Raleigh, NC) in Nov 2013
Interview
I filled out the online application, if you do this give yourself 45 minutes of quiet time. There is a lengthy morality type questionnaire. After about a month I had forgotten about this job but received a phone call asking for an interview the next day or that day.
The next day I went in, several people where being interviewed. It was fairly relaxed, I was interviewed by the store manager. There where no unique questions mostly about my experience:
Can you stand for long periods. How do you get along with others. Do you take direction well. What was something I learned form my last job that I felt I could bring to this position. What would I do if I saw another associate stealing .
Then a quick overview of the dress code and when she needed me to come in for new hire paperwork.

Question 1
What was something I learned form my last job that I felt I could bring to this position.
Basic interview, they aren't super competitive when selecting employees. Just seem eager to work in a team setting and try not to toot your own horn too much and they'll hire you.
They did a group interview where you had to answer questions on customer service and experiences. The interview was simple and wasn’t long, they would call you after a few days to let you know if you got the job.
