I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Dots (Goshen, IN) in Sept 2012
Interview
Interview was rather late in the evening, 8:00 I believe. Was interviewed by the outgoing manager and assistant as they were both moving to other stores. They both seemed rather tired and ready to go home. Neither one smiled even once during the interview and acted as if my answers were not adequate even though I worked in retail since 1984. Never heard another word from this store after interview.

There's a first interview with the store manager where you will be asked about previous employment and what you would do in certain situations. If management likes you, a second interview will be set up with the district manager, where the same questions will be asked. You will also be asked to pick out outfits and try to sell them to the manager. This is the interview process for all candidates, from sales associates to management.
