I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at T.K. Maxx in Sep 2025
Interview
It wasn't too formal. They had a booklet of questions - they asked a question and then wrote briefly what I answered. It wasn't that difficult and if you don't have any previous experience it shouldn't really affect you (as I didn't have any). But I think you should try to make your answers sound less rehearsed if they are - try sound more natural and friendly.
