Basically you apply online for a specific position that is open in the store you want to work in. After being filtered through some computer system, if it gets past that point (I'm unsure who they filter out, and how), it gets sent to the human resource manager. From there they call you in for an interview with a manager, and then they decide whether or not to hire you from there.

I find that the hardest decision I have to make is when I have to choose between strong team members for a promotion. There have been occasions when, even though I personally liked one person better than another, I nonetheless had to choose the other person based on their potential to assume the responsibilities of their new role. Sometimes I also had to promote younger employees over staff with seniority, simply because they were more skilled in the use of technology and more willing to work overtime. It’s never easy, but ultimately you have to think about who will be the most effective and productive in the new position.
