I applied online. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Merced, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
It was a group interview, about 6 people including myself. First interview included questions like why would you like to work for them, double checking availability, are you a fast learner, can you work in a fast paced environment, how do you handle customers. They also ask questions like how would you handle a situation with customers. At the end of the interview they let you know they will be giving the potential candidates a call for a second interview with the store manager. Second interview was with the store manager.
it was very pleasant and they will almost always hire you if you are a tolerable person who can work hard and well with others. It would be strange to not hear back from them within a week due to how much demand they usually have for employees.
Very lowkey. They asked basic interview questions. They just wanted to know availability for work and if you’re available during their most busy hours. Nothing super professional, but they want to make sure you’re going to actually come into work.
When arriving, they do accommodate you to sit in the break room while waiting on an interview, which is great because you’re not standing around the store looking crazy. When you get in the back and we’ll meet with the Store Manager or an assistant manager short it seems rushed like they genuinely didn’t have time set aside for interviews. They were trying to move along candidates.
