I filled out an application online and received an invitation to an in-person interview. This included a personality test which, of course, the ideal way to answer is to pretend you've never even thought of doing a dishonest thing nor had an original thought in your entire life. This was a cattle call, and I had to wait hours with many other people, watching a company video that included bits of "Miracle on 34th Street" -- it was a Christmas season job -- to finally be interviewed. The interview itself was painless, and I was hired. I don't remember if they did a background check or not. Probably.
