Question 1
Very first question "Tell me your understanding of the job responsibilities?"
Interviewer told me our 15 minute "interview" is the only contact there would be with Hallmark unless there is an offer made, then the next step is meeting with direct supervisor. No time allotted to ask any questions about the job or the company.
Filled out an application on their website. Had an zoom meeting interview with a hiring representative. Filled out forms for HR & then met with a supervisor in person to finalize my paperwork.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Hallmark (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The interview process was pleasant and not complicated. Once I applied online, I received an email requesting a phone interview. I met verbally with a member of the management team, who was cheerful and easy to talk to.
I was asked what brought me to the company, why I'd make a good merchandiser, and my strengths. I was informed about extensive hours during holidays, training, and other requirements. I was then offered the position and told my direct supervisor would be in touch.
By the way, virtual training was thorough and provided full compensation for my time.
