I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at JCPenney (San Juan, PR) in Sep 2011
Interview
I applied for the job in June then got a call in September asking for an appointment for the interview. We set the appointment for later that week. When I got there a very nice gentleman told me to enter the office. It was a 1:1 interview and he was very nice. He asked me four questions then told me he would call me the next week. I got a call the next week telling me I had gotten the job and that I started the next week.
Advice: Always smile (that's what got me the job), be very expressive, don't be shy and dress nice.
