It was pretty informal. New store being built. visited the build site weekly to speak with the owners about openings (after they met their hiring needs). My personal determination and follow up won them over to being hired. This also ended with a quick promotion to store manager (within 2 weeks). Store management team was a ton of fun. I took resumes and applications myself. If they are hiring, call every week to follow-up. There was no formal filing process at my store. A lot of dropped off resumes. Those seemed to do better at my particular store.
