I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at T.K. Maxx in May 2015
Interview
Applied online. About a month or two later got a email about an interview. It was a group interview but didn't involve any interaction with the other candidates. You fill in a questionnaire which is mostly common sense, but if you don't pass then you don't go through to the next stage. The next stage was a one to one Interview. The questions were common interview questions, like why do you want to work for us and blah blah blah. After the interview it took another month or so to get a phone call saying that I was successful. Because the store I applied for was a new one that was not open yet, I was invited to a Induction which was being held a few months later. So the process did take a hell of a long time.
easy one interview, just asked about all experience, felt like a pretty casual conversation and is more about your character. Lasted about 45 mins and i got an offer a few days later
Standard interview questions (past experience, what you're currently up to, availability) and a brief chat to get to know your character. Relaxed environment, one on one chat. They asked me questions based on my CV, e.g. what my previous roles were like and how I think it relates to TK Maxx.

Question 1
What prior experience have you had that makes you think you're a good fit for this role?
It was a group interview with fairly generic retail scenarios. It was straight forward and pretty relaxed, not intense at all. You can bounce off from other answers in the room!
