I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2014
Interview
I applied online and was called an hour later to set an interview as soon as I could. I made an interview for the next day. I arrived 5 minutes early and they made me wait a total of 50 minutes before they even interviewed me. The manager came out finally seeming a bit dazed and asked me to follow him to his office. His office was very cluttered and unorganized. He seemed really young and inexperienced and pretty much asked me:
1. Why Ross?
2. What make you a good fit?
3. What does a clean and organized environment at work mean to you?
(ironic as his room was absurdly unorganized)
4. Do you have any past work experience that can help with this job?
and then he began to tell me that they needed people with very open flexibility's (which I had) and offered me the job right away, $9.00/hr non-negotiable part time with a maximum of 25 hours a week. I told him I'd think about it but I knew I wasn't going to take it as I found a better job that was paying me more.
