I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Belk (Greeneville, TN)
Interview
Hiring process was pretty straightforward. After submitting an application, I received an invitation to interview in person with the store manager. She asked basic questions about my customer service skills and abilities, how I would handle difficult customer interactions, and etc. Little of the interview focused on selling abilities, which I thought was odd at a retail store. Nothing was mentioned of credit solicitation, which I later discovered was the main expectation by store and regional management.

Question 1
Asking if I see myself with Belk in five years. While this is a standard question for most job interviews, I thought it was strange that it was asked for an entry level position.
I was a referral and had a brief discussion with the manager and got the job relatively easily. I think getting this job was one of the easier jobs I was able to obtain. However, this was back in 2010.

Question 1
They asked me what my availability would be since it was around the holiday season.
One Interview with the department manager for a sales position. Super short, simple, and to the point.
I received the offer same down and then had to schedule onboarding with Human Resources.
It was your basic questions. Went fine. Nothing too detailed but it was for a base position at the holidays. They were looking for anyone dependable with a car basically.
