I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at HomeGoods in Apr 2011
Interview
Did two interviews, basic questions you would expect from any big name retail outlet. Not hard. Basic paper application. Interview with three different people. If you have had experience interviewing before, you won't have a problem with this.
