I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DSW (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied online. 2 weeks later I got an email from the store manager and we set up an interview for a couple days later. Met an another store from where I applied, interviewed with a nice woman, only a 15 minute interview. Things seemed to be going good but I had the feeling she was going to pass on me because I didn't have order experience or scheduling experience, even though I did but she never asked and I felt I couldn't get a word in sometimes. She asked if I was willing to work at another store or how far I'd travel and I said no more than 30-35mins. I left less than confident and wasn't offered anything.
