This was an open application/interview event at a hotel meeting room. The BJ's staff were quick to get people into interviews. It seemed like not too many people showed up; I got there 30 minutes after it started and only waited 10 minutes. It was weird because the Carmel, IN store is opening in 6-8 weeks, but only 2 jobs were posted online for the event, even though there were at least 18 positions listed on a placard. The interview had standard situational questions. I have a lot of retail experience, dressed smart casual, brought resume copies, and asked questions. I didn't get a second interview or an offer. People's outfits varied a lot, from looking like they just woke up to smart casual. I spoke with two applicants afterward; one was asked to stay for a second interview (which seemed like a job offer), and the other wasn't. The guy who got the offer was dressed really sloppily. Another strange thing was the interviewer wanted us to pick two job choices, even though only two jobs were posted online and most job attributes apply to most of their roles. One last thing, I came with resumes and a notepad. Two of my interviewers seemed intimidated when I offered a resume copy and asked if I was there to interview them. It was a good, but odd, experience. Hope this helps someone.

I got an email with some screening questions asking about my availability, if I'd done upselling, why I liked HR, and if I was into other jobs there. Then there was a quick phone call. After that, I had an in-person interview with the GM, which was also straightforward. The next day, the recruiter texted saying the GM liked me and wanted me to interview with the regional HRBP. But I never heard back after I sent my availability for the virtual chat. Honestly, it's fine because I didn't really want the job anyway, the pay was too low for the work and there's no way to move up in HR there. I would have taken it just for the resume experience and planned my escape from day one.
