For internal promotion, you are required to do an interview with 8 managers from the different Ross stores, then meat with the district manager and the area loss prevention manager. It was like a two hour process, but I enjoyed it. Talking to the different managers you learn different perspectives and new things. I was asked pretty much the same questions over and over but each manager analyzed your answers differently. I wasn't well prepared for the interview, but they thought I did a good job. I didn't get the job right away, they thought I had to work on certain things before I got the promotion. Which I'm glad for, because now that I think about it, if I had gotten the position right away, I probably would have sunk. I had some things to learn and I am glad that they took the opportunity to teach me and develop me. The interview is easier if you are prepared, I would do it again if I wanted another promotion. This time I will be better prepared, because I know what to expect and how to answer the questions. You have to be super confident in the interviews, even if you are a little bit timid they will pick up on it.

It took about a half hour to an hour. They have an assistant manager or store manager interview you and tell you about the job and company. They ask what position you want if you’re on the retail side because there’s several areas to work in.
