I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Von Maur (Davenport, IA) in Oct 2011
Interview
I met with the college recruiter at my college's career fair and then applied online. Within a few days of applying online HR contacted me to schedule an interview. During this time she asked me several questions regarding why I chose Von Maur and why I wanted to be a buyer, at the end of the phone conversation she then informed me that she would like to schedule a formal interview. My first formal interview was with the same college recruiter asking me questions about myself as well as behavioral questions. She then contacted me again several days later to inform me that they wanted to do a second phone interview. I then interviewed with one of the store managers from their stores and it lasted about an hour, consisting mostly of behavioral type questions. A week after that HR contacted me again to fill out paperwork for a background check; about a week later the director of HR called me to schedule my final interview which consisted of them flying me to their corporate office as well as a tour of their facilities. Less than a week later they called offering me the job.
Overall they were extremely nice and very accommodating! They paid for all of my travel expenses and even paid for me to relocate. You must be willing to relocate or they won't even look at you!
