I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DSW in Jul 2015
Interview
I had a total of three interviews. I applied for the assistant manger position at two locations - I had one interview with a store manager, then one with the district manager. After the position was filled for the 1st location, I was then interviewed by the store manager at the 2nd location. All interviews went very well - all of the staff I encountered were kind and seemed to know what they were looking for in a candidate.
The two interviews with the store managers were in the break room, and the district manager interview was over the phone.
The questions were both situation based as well as more broader questions regarding personality, work style preferences, and qualifications.
