I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at JCPenney (Corpus Christi, TX) in May 2014
Interview
Very fast at getting a call back but offered a different section of the store instead of sephora so I worked for shoes instead. Quick interview and was a pleasant experience. I accepted the job and started right away.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney (Concord, CA)
Interview
Only one interview that has changed from when I originally started. They have you do a team work activity now to see how you interact with others in the group interview. But before they use asked simple questions i.e (Tell us of a time you were patient, Tell us of a time you provided exceptional customer service). The hiring process differs in time some only took 2 weeks to get hired wile other took up to 2 months just to hear back.

No difficult questions if you have actually had customer experience. Should just be common sense.
