First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Kohl's.
Product Manager
The interview process started with a behavioral round where I was asked typical questions about my strengths, weaknesses, conflict resolution, and teamwork. I recommend looking up "behavioral interview questions" and preparing answers beforehand to feel more comfortable. About one to two weeks later, I got an invitation for the final round. This final round took place at the corporate office in Menomonee Falls, WI. The evening before the interview day, we had a bus tour around Milwaukee, WI, which included a city tour and a formal dinner with other candidates. It's important to be at your best not only during the interview but also at the pre-interview dinner and activities. Be friendly, be yourself, and engage in conversations about appropriate social topics. Remember to thank your interviewers for their time the day after the interview.
- What is your current favorite fashion trend?
Product Manager
I went to the career fair at my college and talked to a recruiter and a Product Development Coordinator. After that, they told me I was selected for an interview. The night before the interview, there was a pre-interview dinner. The interview itself was one-on-one with someone from PD. A couple days later, I found out I was chosen for the final interview event. Kohl's flew us out to Milwaukee for two days. We had another pre-interview dinner the night before, and the next day was the interview event. It consisted of three back-to-back interviews with people from the PD department, and some presentations about the internship and jobs. The recruiter called me back the following business day.
- In what ways do you stay current with industry trends?
- Describe what constitutes a great team in your opinion.
- What qualities do you believe define a good leader?
Assistant Product Manager
Had a phone interview with an HR contact, then moved on to a 2-hour interview with 3 people, all separate interviews. I got conflicting info about what they were looking for, and when I said I had the skills one interviewer wanted, another said that's not what they needed at all. One interviewer talked a lot about personal life instead of the job.
- What is your definition of good taste?
