I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Payless ShoeSource (Pittsburgh, PA) in Jan 2012
Interview
It took a little time to hear from the company, once they called it was a fast process. Very professional, as most sales interviews questions were all about personality, work ethic, and most of all your own unique technique. It took place in the store not the mall which is helpful especially for a busier mall.
