      Assistant Manager Interview

      21 Sept 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Detroit, MI
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney (Detroit, MI) in Sept 2011

      Interview

      Phone screening plus 3 additional interviews. The interviewers were two managers and the regional manager. The store managers were a bit nondescript about the process. I think one was already to retire. The regional manager made his mind up quick and the last half of the review was not shooting myself in the foot. Dont elaborate beyond what is asked.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Typical behavioral questions. Tell me about a time... Want to know your career goals.
