Handwritten application. I turned it in and received an interview about a month later. The manager was very "blah" about it and generic. Said she was hiring 2 or 3 and was interviewing 7. I am in my forties with 20 years of accounting and 1 year retail experience. I was asked basic questions and dismissed. After 4 phone calls and two weeks, I find out I didn't get the job. I thought companies usually gave the courtesy of a phone call or email to let you know but I didn't receive that courtesy. They said the pay started at $9.50/hr which is pretty good for retail so I guess they can be picky. However, I have seen some of the people they have hired and I don't understand how someone fresh out of high school with no work experience is more qualified that someone with 20 years of experience and is available to work basically any hours.
