I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at JCPenney (Jersey City, NJ) in Nov 2013
Interview
The first interview was a group Interview with a large group. We were asked basic questions like our name, a word that describes us and why, our past retail experience, etc.. The interview begins when you walk in the door. They want to see how you will interact with fellow employees, the management and most importantly the customers. They really pride themselves on customer service and will only hire the friendliest and genuine people. Experience seems important as well as every person in the room had retail experience.

Other Seasonal Sales Associate Interview Reviews for JCPenney
It was overall an easy interview. In a group setting of interviewees, we were asked to each talk about what we thought good customer service was. Then, we had some blocks to build a structure, a house I remember. Without the person you were instructing being able to see the blueprint, you had to describe what to do with the blocks without touching the blocks. I didn't know how I did, but I got hired. This was the holidays of 2017. :)
