I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at DSW (Lone Tree, CO) in Oct 2012
Interview
Process started when I went into the store and asked for a application. When I dropped the application off, I asked to speak to a manager and she schedule my interview for later in the week. Day of the interview I interviewed with one of the floor managers and then after the store manager. Very simple questions about why I was valuable to the team and what my strengths/weaknesses are.

quick and easy interview process. The manager was very nice. I did not have to have much experience for the role. They offered the job to me on the spot.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DSW (Port St Lucie, FL)
Interview
Very basic questions: Why do you want to work here? What's your availability? Where have you worked before? It would probably help if you cared about shoes and sneakers, probably should mention that you're flexible and willing to work in the cashier or the floor.
