      Easy interview

      Application

      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.
