I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Lids (Blackwood, NJ) in Aug 2017
Interview
I applied on Lids career website for multiple positions and waited for weeks to get a call or follow up. I had an interview with another company in the same mall and decided to stop in to speak to whomever was working. It turned out to be the manager we spoke and I told him about my background while speaking like a true salesman. He told me he would get back to me. An assistant manager got back to me and scheduled my interview the next day. Two days later I got an offer with Lids.

Walked around the area and discussed the job in detail. Was told how to act around customers and what to do during intense situations. The manager asked me to talk about a skill that'll help with the job but isn't on my resume.
