I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sam's Club (Port Charlotte, FL) in Feb 2012
Interview
I was contacted for the interview, answered a few questions...I told the interviewers that i did not have any experience in cake decorating but they said that was okay, I could be trained. At the end of the interview, they said they had one more to to interview and they'd be in touch...they called a few hours later and wanted to arrange for me to take the pre-employment drug test, which meant I was hired. I took the test, passed, and went to orientation a week later. Once you get the call about the drug test, you've got the job.
