I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Marshalls (Bedford, NH) in Sep 2010
Interview
I applied for the job in store and asked to schedule an interview, but they told me the manager wasn't there. I called a few days later but still didn't get the manager. I stopped by after school to speak to someone about an interview; apparently the manager had called my house and spoken to my parents that day hoping to schedule an interview with me. I ended up getting an interview right then since I stopped by.
She really didn't ask me many questions since this would be my first job. She made sure I was a hard worker and okay with a fast paced environment. She told me it was a good first job and I didn't have to try very hard to get it.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Marshalls (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Well I turned in my written application and the hiring manager said she'd call me in a few days. She did, and she was extremely nice. It took around 30-40 minutes initially... Some questions she asked was: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I said Grad-School... well I'm a freshman in college so... yeah. I told her it's what my major required. Then she asked how do you feel you will do in this atmosphere? And I said I think I'll do well because I was on the volleyball team for 3 years and if you're slow you lose the point. And then she asked me a question to ask a question... She told me to ask her a question... I choked and just commented about marshalls because I couldn't think of anything but after I talked to my friend he said I should have asked about working hours and dress code ahhh! well good luck guys.
