Michaels Stores Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details I was called for an interview by the store manager, however she was not there when I arrived, so I met with the Assistant Manager. He was very nice, but seemed somewhat unfamiliar with the interview process. We spoke for approximately 15 minutes, and he said that the manager would contact me.

Negotiation Details – There was nothing to negotiate. It was definitely a "take-it-or-leave-it" situation.

Interview Details I applied online and received a phone call about a week later. The manager asked if I could come in for an interview. The interview was very informal. I was not asked any questions except if I would like to work there. The manager talked about the store and what I'd do, and mentioned the low pay.

Interview Details Iterview process was really quite easy. There were never any questions concerning the actual position. Never even asked if I could do floral design or if I was trained as a floral designer. There was a question about the amount of hours I could work but this did not really matter because you were never schedule very many hours.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. I was limited by how much I could make because I am already retired so the offer of slightly over minimum wage was fine with me.

Interview Details The interview process is a fairly simple one. The hiring manager will ask you a few questions about your feelings on customers and waking up early in the morning. Replenishers turnover very quickly, you will be hired as long as you're persistent and accommodating.

Negotiation Details – There is no negotiation phase.

Interview Details My interview process was pretty laid back, and easy. Basic questions about experience, and clarification of availability. The hiring process was long (we had to watch several slide shows educating us of company history, safety procedures, etc.), but not too difficult. Even though it was long, there was no hands-on training until the very first day of work.

Interview Details Filled out the application and assessment online, I was called about 3 days later and asked if I wanted to come in for an interview. I was told to wait in the "classroom" and the manager showed up after about 10 minutes. She just asked me to "tell her about myself" and then tell her about my past jobs and then she asked if I would like the job. It was the easiest interview I've ever had. No drug test either.

Interview Details The interview was very easy, and they expect to see some pieces you've made. I got the job easily, but realized there was a catch.

In order to obtain students you must DO YOUR OWN ADVERTISING. This means making posters and hanging them around the store. One girl was very good at it. She had crocheted samples on her posters. This would be ok with me except jewelry crafting is expensive. It was a lot of work to me.

As for training, it is online and takes a little while. Be prepared to print A LOT. But overall fairly easy.

Reason for Declining – I did not want to advertise myself.

Interview Details I was questioned on where I had worked before and after finding out I had an art degree, what my hobbies were. On my first interview, it was the customer experience manager who interviewed me at the time. The second time, it was the store manager. He asked if I would be interested in working in the frame shop. I told him I was, to which he replied that they would train me on the register first and then move me to framing. That's when I found out I was hired and what my hourly wage would start off at.

Interview Details I filled out an application online and got a call 6 weeks later. The manager of the store near me said they get 100s of applications and that when they need someone, they go to the apps online. The first interview was an unexpected group interview with 7 other applicants. It lasted an hour. I was called for a one on one interview.
