The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Toys "R" Us (Maple Grove, MN) in Nov 2011
Interview
It was very laid back. I was in a group of 4, we were all women. First we introduced ourselves, and said what our favorite toy was from our childhood. I didn't have many toys growing up, so I just said a soccer ball as that was my favorite sport to play when I was kid. Then we were suppose to build a toy out of legos, that was suppose to be the hottest toy of the season. After that we were suppose to sell it to the HRM who was interviewing us. Then we were asked to pick a toy from the store and sell it to the HRM. It was pretty simple. Lastly, we had our one on one interviews. I found this confusing, maybe because I'm a blonde. But she asked very specific, random questions that honestly made no sense. She talked very fast. I must have said something right though, since they called me back. She said she would call that night or the next, called 4 days later and offered the job. The only downside: my first day is 8am-4pm Black Friday. I guess that's how you learn the best though.

Super nice and friendly interviewer. They told me about the company and the position and asked a few questions. They also let me ask some questions at the end as well
Geoffrey was attentive and kind. Guided me through the whole catalog. Would recommend him all the time, every time to whomever will listen. He took the time to explain the great deals.
