I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Burlington Stores in Sep 2016
Interview
I applied online and called to check my application the next day. The manager said he haven't pulled any applications yet and that he will be pulling them the next day. Just so happen the next day he called me in for a interview scheduled 2days later. I went and did a 1 on 1 interview with the same guy on the phone. It was very quick he asked about past employers and why I left and he asked me some behavioral questions. He offered me a position and said he will send me a form through email to fill out for a background check. Then he will call me once it come back to set up a training day. They look for people with customer service etiquette and great attitudes. They don't offer many hours or pay much, it's a job for like students, retired people, and homebound moms.
it was very easy i was asked 3 questions. where have you worked before. why should we hire you. what's your availability. and then there was an orientation for 5 hours
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
one question they asked was what was my availibitlity
The interview went great the manager gave me the job right then and said to come back in a week. Later I got a call to finish the application on the website and then we could move forward. The next day I got a text she didn’t realize there were no open positions available and I could try again later for a holiday season. Today I got a message saying they decided to go with a candidate with qualifications that were a better fit. I let go of other jobs because I was confirmed to have been hired. I have been in customer service for 10+ years but today I got a message they hired someone with better fitting qualifications. I shouldn’t have let go of other jobs that was my fault. They shouldn’t have confirmed I was hired after the interview then said I wasn’t because there was no openings to then messaged they hired someone else. I love the items in the store and the interview was with a new manager she was awesome but was really disappointed with the way this was handled and that there’s nothing I can do about that. I’m a single mom and have been looking for a job for awhile and finally got 3 callbacks but the first job to say I was hired was Burlington so I took that and let the others know I was hired. The interview was fine but I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
I was asked Really simple question like about my experience as well as curtain situations I have encountered in my other jobs as well as how i reacted and overall a good interview
