I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Michaels (Union, NJ) in Mar 2018
Interview
Applied online, got a call about a week later, set up an interview for a week later. Came in, had to wait a while for the manager. The interview was easy, simple questions, pretty relaxed. Was told they were interviewing about 20-25 people that week, but that I have a good personality for the store and have a good chance at cashier/floor sales associate, and that they will let everyone know on that Friday. Guess I should have double checked if they will actually let EVERYONE know or only those they want because it is now Tuesday afternoon and I'm beginning to question whether the interview even happened or if it was my imagination.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
How would you handle an impatient customer when there is a long line at checkout?
Easy and quick, pretty laid back process. It's an initial phone call to screen/schedule an in person interview and then the in person interview lasted about 15 minutes. Pretty conversational and standard questions.
Fast. Very friendly. Questionnaire!!!! But process goes quick. Manager is friendly and interview went fine. Super friendly conversation. Seasonal is easier to enter. After season is over it is easy to stay as a permanent employee.

Interview
Easy questions, asking for availability. Mostly part time coworkers that they were looking for to fill in shifts. You should be knowledgeable in arts and craft suppies. Be enthusiastic and ready to learn
