I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at JCPenney (Pensacola, FL) in Sept 2012
Interview
One day process, offered position on the spot. It was a two-part interview all within the same day. There were also several other applicants at the interview (all got offers). First you met with a floor supervisor who asked more personality based questions, then you met with the asst. store manager who discussed your work history and made you an offer.
