I applied in-person. I interviewed at Carter's (Waterloo, ON) in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview went well.
I had an emergency unfortunately, which they handled with care. The manager sent me a personal message on Saturday the 24th. To ' follow up' just 48 hours after. Someone from Carter's called on Friday the 23rd.. to close the medical file. My interview was on Thursday so just over 24hours.
I was under consideration for two weeks.. and got the message today, not selected.
I'm not sure why.
