I applied on Craigslist and then about a week later I was called in for an interview with the District Manager. After that interview, I was called about a day or two later for a group interview with the District Manager and Assistant Manager of the store where we were being interviewed. During the interview, we were all asked 2 questions which we took turns answering around the table, then one by one we would go to a separate table with just the managers for a one-on-one interview.

The interview process was quite brief. It involved a few standard questions. The in-person meeting lasted about an hour with the department head. The people were really nice, so there's no need to be anxious.
