I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel in Oct 2008
Interview
Professional manner, done in the store. Easy conversation, discussed mutual interests, places we had lived and what brought us to the current area. Substance of the interview was direct regarding customer service and overall sales. Since it was a part time position, no benefits were discussed. Prior retail experience didn't seem to be necessary although as a former buyer for a major retailer it sure is/was helpful with the local customer base.
I applied online. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel (Houston, TX) in Sept 2021
Interview
The first few minutes consist of meeting the interviewer and getting settled into the interview space.
The main part of the interview consists of the employer asking you questions and listening to your responses, sometimes taking notes for later reference
