I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Payless ShoeSource (Columbus, OH) in Jun 2015
Interview
You will be asked to specially relate back to certain events in your work history and are expected to do a role play. It can be pretty difficult, but they will give you time to answer all the questions. There are only 5 so choose wisely. I'm actually a manager and these are the questions that we all have to ask in an interview. Be as prepared as you can!
