Hiring process information for an interview at Toys R Us
The Toys R Us interview process generally takes place in a group setting. After submitting the completed hiring materials, Toys R Us candidates receive a phone call within week or two to schedule a job interview. Toys R Us conducts job interviews in a group setting, with multiple candidates interviewing simultaneously. Following the group interview, Toys R Us then asks select candidates back for a follow-up interview generally taking place with a manager.
Some Toys R Us stores incorporate playing with Legos or making paper airplanes into the hiring process. Potential employees should wear professional clothing to a Toys R Us job interview, such as dress shirts, dress pants, and dress shoes for men and business-professional skirts and tops for women. Interviewers typically ask questions about previous work history, skill sets, pay expectations, and availability. Candidates with open schedules may receive more favorable employment consideration. Toys R Us generally avoids hiring workers with facial, excessive, or overly visible body piercings. Removing piercings and covering tattoos may benefit potential store associates during the Toys R Us hiring process.

Video Transcript
Interviewer: Please describe your job title and primary duties.
Toys R Us Employee: At Toys R Us, I was a stock person/cashier from time to time, but mainly stock. I did a lot of stocking.
Interviewer: What was the work environment like?
Toys R Us Employee: The work environment there was very tiring and a workout because being a stock person, you’re moving a lot of boxes, heavy lifting. Hours… when you stock, you don’t work the normal hours. You’re usually there either very early in the morning or very late, when the truck comes and unloads. So, it was very tiring. I was tired of stocking about as quick as I got the job.
Interviewer: What was your favorite part about working there?
Toys R Us Employee: My favorite part would be the check. The check was good. And the job wasn’t even that hard, there was just a lot going on. I always seem to get a job during the holiday season, and during that time, there’s just a lot going on. At Toys R Us with the stocking, trucks were constantly coming in. I was constantly lifting and moving and ordering certain things for the aisles and it was time consuming. So, there was a lot going on. I enjoyed it because it was like a work out. I’m pretty little already, so it was a workout. I like working with people, and it was a team job.
Interviewer: Did you earn any benefits or other job perks?
Toys R Us Employee: Yeah. Me being into video games, I got a lot of discounts on the electronics there, and I used them all on games. I got an Xbox for cheap using my employee discount. Another benefit, I knew a lot things that were happening before other people knew about it, as far as the toys coming in and the games that were coming in. I knew about them and I could get them before other people could. So, that was a good benefit from working there.
Interviewer: Please describe a typical day as an employee.
Toys R Us Employee: Typical day was a workout. Every day when I got up I knew I was going to be tired when I got off. So it was just get up and “Let’s go get this money.” I kept that motivation and just made it through. Workout.
Interviewer: How would you describe the application and interview process?
Toys R Us Employee: It was a two interview process I had to go through. The first one was to see how I can help the company out as far as my presence there. After that interview, it was the second interview, as far as can I lift seventy-five pounds a day and can I stay focused, basically.
Interviewer: What should an applicant wear to the job interview?
Toys R Us Employee: To be honest, every interview you go through, you should dress casual. Be presentable, nothing crazy.
Interviewer: What questions did the interviewer ask during the job interview?
Toys R Us Employee: Questions like if I’ve seen a fellow employee stealing or doing something that they weren’t supposed to be doing, would I tell or look the other way. Things like that. As far as questions like what could I bring to the company.
Interviewer: What set you apart from other candidates?
Toys R Us Employee: Just me being a people person from off the top with the manager. They saw how energetic I was. At the time, I was excited about the job, so they saw energetic and eager I was to work. And I believe that’s what got me the job.
Interviewer: What other advice would you give to a job seeker looking for employment?
Toys R Us Employee: Depending on the department you want to do – I was doing stock – so with that you have to really be in shape, be ready to lift all hours of the day, be able to be on call when they say, “I need you here.” You’ve got to be able to do it without any problems. As long as you can do that, it’s a good job for you.

@Caprice
If you are a male you should wear dress pants, a dress shirt and more then likely a tie. If you are a female you should wear either dress pants or a formal skirt or something along those lines, a nice and maybe formal shirt and some nice dress shoes.
You should expect them to ask what kind of education you have had. What are your skills you have and what you can do. What kind of pay you would like. Some advie on that don’t say a number say ‘open’ or negotiate. um what else would they as. over all just be honest on when they ask you the questions and when you fill out the form. And if the question doesn’t apply to you put N/A.
As for your last question I don’t know.
I was just hired by TRU. Interview is business casual. Expect some odd things but fun! First, it’s usually a group interview. Brush up on your paper airplaine making skills and lego building. After group interviews, it’s one on one. Have an open schedule and they will love you (use you). Their company policy is red polo’s with black slacks or khakis. Body piericings are not allowed with the exception of ears, tatoos are not to be seen. Hope it helps. Good Luck!
They don’t care if you have a goatee or not. I worked at Toys R Us for 5 years. The whole time I was there I had a full beard that I kept neat and trim and they never said a word. I also had (and still have) long, shoulder length hair that I always wore in a neat ponytail at work. I also dressed as neatly as possible with my shirt tucked in at all times. They never cared about my hair and beard because I looked neater and cleaner than other guys there who had short hair and no facial hair. Its all about your over all appearance.
if youre trying to apply online you need to register as a new user on their system.
as for keywords i believe you can leave it blank and it will search all possible items.
also word of advice, they like it when you as questions about the COMPANY.
company being the keyword.
best of luck to everyone!
I have always appreciated how Toys ‘R Us incorporates fun into its work environment as well as upholding a respectable and knowledgeable staff. From a consumer’s/ customer’s point of view, I understand the importance of the staff having a clean and well-managed appearance. It makes an easily interpreted statement of the individual’s degree of self-awareness and hygiene as well as the company’s impression of an excellent employee.
As a hopefully potential employee of Toys R Us, I can easily agree with the company’s views on facial piercings as it represents a lifestyle that some parents may find awkward to explain to their children depending on their personal views. While the employee has the right to express themselves as an adult, I agree it is certainly not relevant to the company’s business or professional interests. I have facial piercings myself, yet I feel it is appropriate business etiquette to exclude them from an employee’s appearance, and I have no issue with removing the jewelry before going to work.
However, I am curious as to what Toys R Us policies are when it comes to dyed hair. I have seen tasteful and tactful hairstyles on some albeit few Toys R Us staff members that include vibrant colors before, yet when I began to research the company’s work ethic and policies I have not been able to find any resources that could provide insight into the standards held for acceptable hair color. Perhaps I haven’t been looking in the right places, but could someone please help to clarify? I’m sure that information will help not only myself, but other future Toys ‘R Us staff as well!
ana, absolutely, just be ridiculously outgoing and friendly and really try to understand what makes good customer service, even if you dont know how to do it, just make connections with questions they may ask you to similar experiences that you may have previously faced… What I’m saying is be interesting, don’t bore them but talk a lot. It’s what got me in, and I have no “On-Paper” previous experience.
Can you help me decide how to dress for an interview? I really want to get the job, but I can’t decide what to wear. I am a man. Also, do they want to know about my education? I have high school and some college?
April 29th, 2010 at 1:28 amThanks.
I think that pants, a shirt and a tie would be good enough and they will probably ask about your education. But yes, focus on your interview and you will get the job.
May 2nd, 2010 at 11:18 amYeah dress as nice as you possibly can. I don’t think there is a way to “under-dress” for an important interview. You could say that the better you look and the more prepared you are, the more that says you want the job.

February 15th, 2012 at 9:17 pmI am a 15 year old girl. I am wondering if I would be able to apply for a job with Toys R Us, would it be possible?
November 16th, 2011 at 11:41 amDo you get drug tested when you get interviewed? I am wondering because I am always self conscious about that kind of thing. Please answer!
