I did my application online, then I called the store manager and set up an interview. It was super quick. They asked me some stuff they shouldn't have, like my age, where I live, and if I have kids, which I didn't know was a no-no back then. Mostly they wanted to know my availability, what I'd earn based on my experience, and when I could start.

I applied online and then they offered me an interview. It was a pretty standard interview with typical questions. They asked about my past work history, why I wanted to join their team, and my availability. They offered me the job right after, and I started filling out the new hire paperwork.

The first 1 on 1 interview is pretty straightforward. Many of Jo-Ann's managers are experts in their field and the store has a more family-like vibe than a big corporate setting. Following that, there's a presentation and a kind of store scavenger hunt. They aim to make it enjoyable.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Do you have sewing skills?
- Would you consider a part-time work schedule?
