How To Act and What to Wear During A.C. Moore Interviews
Once the interview begins, maintain good eye contact, show enthusiasm, and offer up plenty of smiles. The craft store allows personnel to wear jeans every day; however, applicants should attend A.C.

Aly says:
I’m a Manager at an A.C. Moore. Generally the #1 question during an interview is, “How would you handle a difficult situation?/Describe a difficult situation you’ve been in & how you handled it.” Starting hourly pay for an associate is normally $8.50. There is time & a half on Sundays, no real specific uniform as of right now, at my store it’s wear either a blue or red shirt, black pants & shoes, just make sure the look is professional, and you have to be 18 to be employed here.
Barbara says:
In response to the “Top Comment” by Aly: First, not all states are required to pay time and a half on Sundays; second, there is no “normal” starting pay for every state or every store; third, don’t know when Aly made the comment but there is indeed a dress code (specific uniform).
