I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2011
Interview
I was shopping at Ross with my mom. A senior in high school with no job and my mom stopped to as an employee if they were hiring. She said yes and pointed at the manager. I walked up to a lady(manager) and asked if she was hiring. She was very nice and told me to go online and apply. After I apply online call the store. The same night I applied and called the next day. I asked for the manager and she told me she would call me back after she checked out my resume. It only took an hour and when she called me, she asked me to come in the next day. I did exactly that. When I arrived at the store, there were other people waiting for an interview. I was third and it was a lady after me. I waited for an hour an 30 minutes before a man name will came out to get me. I went to the back and he asked me very simple questions. After a 10 minute interview he wanted me to come back the next day for my second interview. I did and this time the manager interviewed me and I was hired on the spot. I came back the following week for training and to finish filling out documents. (During your interview process you will be asked to where a blue shirt and black pants).
The Ross cashier interview is brief and straightforward, focusing on customer service, handling busy environments, basic math, availability, and reliability. It often includes situational questions and may be followed by a quick hiring decision.
They ask basic work experience questions, basic problem solving questions, they confirm your availability and let you know you’ll receive an email/ phone call with start date and so on
Thorough and very detailed. It's a particular answer they are looking for. And you will know through the interview if you are doing well. And there are quite a few questions.
