I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TJ Maxx (Auburn, ME) in Aug 2011
Interview
Easy and quick - two interviews, one from third key and one from ops. manager. Asked general questions like 'what does customer service mean to you' - was hired at 16 with no experience. Application was a bit lengthy and there was a fair deal of paperwork. They cared mostly about having open availability and a good work ethic.
It was a two parter, one on the phone, and one in person. It was a typical interview with the standard "why do you want to work here" and then what they expect from you as a employee.
Very straightforward and simple. It was a phone call with the hiring manager. Super easy peasy, nothing to stress about. Just be confident and kind. It took all of maybe half an hour, maybe less.
It was quick. I applied online, They called within a week. I spoke briefly with someone. They explained the process of getting started and some of the information about the store. They inquired about my experience when I’d be able to start
