I applied in-person. I interviewed at JCPenney (Coralville, IA)
Interview
I had a resume but they had me re do the whole thing on the computer at the store. I had an interview with an immature seeming younger man. I understand why they do it this way, but could have been improved.

Question 1
The pay was the most difficult question when I was asked to be hired. It was minimum wage plus commission tiers. I'm glad I took the job, the commission paid me more than I would have made w/out it as I enjoy selling/sales/goals.

Interview
I applied for the back room, but instead they offered me a different job on the sales floor. I walked in and sat down for at least 5 minutes before being told I got the job.
Put in an application in 2012 and was called about 5 days letter for an interview. Met with one of the HR reps and he was cool, he liked me and we scheduled a second interview with the store manager and it went well. Ended up getting the job in a week, but the background check
