I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DICK'S Sporting Goods (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2013
Interview
I applied online and was asked to come in for an interview the next week. They were misleading about giving me a job. When I applied I was in the middle of holiday season, which if your religion requires you to take lots of days off at random times of the year I don't recommend applying when you need to take off more time than usual. A week after the interview, after sending thank you notes and following up, I got an email saying that I did not get the job, but that they would keep my application on file.

Question 1
The situational questions were hard. Make sure you think before answering.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DICK'S Sporting Goods
Interview
Applied for a job on the Dick's Sporting Goods career site and got a call back 1 week later for an interview. After that I interviewed with a store manager 6 days later and was offered the job.
Interview questions were relatively simple and dealt with customer service and past experiences in retail. They also ask you some questions relating to the sport/department you are applying for.
"Name a time you went above and beyond to help a customer"
"Name a time you received great customer service yourself"
"What are some current trends in golf equipment or apparel"

Question 1
Probably the question about a time when I got good customer service only because I tend to remember the bad experiences rather than the good ones.
I'm a very qualified merchandising candidate who's applied online for over a year. I have not been able to get a call back for an interview. Very difficult to get through the on line applicant system and recruiters.

Question 1
I have a very successful retail backround with experience in planning, buying and product development. I've been applying to open positions at Dick's for over a year and can't get a call back for an interview. Very difficult to get someone to talk to.
