I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at The Children's Place (Lithonia, GA)
Interview
It was a group interview in the back of the store. It was just your basic questions about why you want to work there and what would you do with a difficult customer. I thought I did well during the group interview and they said they were very impressed with me so I thought I had a good chance getting the job. However they never called back so I guess they had a change of heart. I'm fine with that because I did get a offer elsewhere for 3 times the money. FYI. As a sales associate you start off at minimum wage and the most hours you would work is 15 hours a week but on average 4-10 hours.
