Question 1
How does your college major relate to the position your applying for?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Von Maur (Minneapolis, MN) in Jan 2014
Interview
I applied online at www.vonmaur.com and was called within 48 hours of my submission. The first call verified the information on the application and I was asked if I would like to come into the store for an initial interview. A time was scheduled for the next day. I met with the HR supervisor and one floor manager. Questions were routine, why do you want to work at Von Maur, what do you expect from an employer, ect. A few days on a Saturday I interviewed with a second floor manager on following Monday I was offered a position.

Interview
Interviewed twice at the Jefferson Pointe, Fort Wayne, IN location - both times I was called and asked to come in that day. I assumed after the second interview and how well it went, that I would hear a call back. Nothing - not even a "sorry." Very unprofessional.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Von Maur
Interview
Moderately difficult interview. Questions about past experience in retail employment, so if this is your first job that you're interviewing for, difficulty level of questions is relatively high. Friendly staff but not incredibly prompt (at least at my nearest location.. They were nearly 40 minutes late for the in person interview).
