I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bed Bath & Beyond in Oct 2011
Interview
Initial phone interview led to a face to face interview at one of the stores. Relatively easy interview. Make sure you did your research about the company before applying. They WILL ask you why you applied and why you are a great fit for the company. My interviewer wanted to know how I would merchandise the store. 1 thing to note. The posting for Store Manager isnt exactly for store manager. They dont direct hire store managers. They do directly hire Salaried Department Managers which from there you can advance up to a Store Manager. This was clarified at the end of my interview. At which time we discussed salary. Which I was informed that it was highly unlikely they were able to match my current salary.

Question 1
Tell me how would you go about merchandising this store.
Had to jump on 3 separate video interviews, but they were all straightforward. They want to recap your Career history, review your Skills, and lastly the Q &A. Overall, the entire process took 1.5 weeks.

Had a phone interview and moved to an in person interview with the DM. Both interviews went very well, as they both were very friendly and made the process stress free.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bed Bath & Beyond (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Recruiter didn’t seem very knowledgeable about the company or the job description. Didn’t seem to come with prepared questions. Didn’t seem happy about having to interview. Recruiter repeatedly coughed into the phone without any apologies. Made me not want to finish the interview.
