Candidates record responses to pre-set questions within time limits, and responses may be analyzed using AI for hiring decisions. Some time ago, [TJX / TJ Maxx](https://tjmaxx.tjx.com/) changed their hiring procedures to include something called a "[HireVue](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/hirevue) interview". The purpose of these [video](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/video-interview) or [one-way interviews](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/one-way-interview) is to save everyone time. You don't have to travel to an office for an in-person interview if the TJ Maxx hiring manager has already made up their mind on another applicant. And the hiring manager doesn't have to sit through an interview with someone that clearly isn't interested in the job. So it's a win-win right? _Sort of._ [HireVue](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/hirevue) interviews can be very **stressful** for applicants since there is no live interviewer asking questions. Many applicants have told us this gives them anxiety since there is no way to know if your answers were solid or could be improved. You can gain some **confidence** before your interview by practicing for TJ Maxx's HireVue interview on a platform like **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**, where you can practice on TJ Maxx sample questions and get instant, AI-powered feedback on your answers. Let's walk you through the TJ Maxx HireVue interview and at the end of this article you can take a look at a few sample TJ Maxx HireVue interview questions. Get ahead of the competition at TJ Maxx with Voomer® ### What happens in a TJ Maxx HireVue interview? In a HireVue interview, you'll record yourself answering questions. Those questions might be shown to you as a couple of lines of text or they might be displayed as a pre-recorded video by someone at TJ Maxx asking you that question. Then, you'll get around 30 seconds to prepare your answer and around two minutes to answer. The number of questions varies, so be ready to answer anything from 2 to 5 questions. You can answer on your cell phone, laptop, or desktop computer - as long as it has a camera. ### TJ Maxx's HireVue interview specifics The questions asked will be mostly behavioral ones, so make sure you are brushed up on how to answer those. The best way to answer them is via the STAR method - if you aren't familiar with how to ace every question using that method, check out the video below. [Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwN2uu9DmSE) You also want to be aware of TJ Maxx's corporate values. TJ Maxx is part of The TJX Companies, and the parent company's published values apply across its banners. You can find TJX's core values on its [Corporate Responsibility Overview](https://www.tjx.com/corporate-responsibility/introduction/overview) and [Culture & Engagement](https://www.tjx.com/corporate-responsibility/workplace/culture-engagement) pages. The [TJX Europe early careers culture page](https://tjxearlycareers.com/life-at-tjx/our-culture/) describes the same values from a candidate's perspective. TJX publishes three long-held core values, **Honesty**, **Integrity**, and **Treating each other with dignity and respect**, that apply across TJ Maxx and its sister banners. CEO Ernie Herrman frames the company this way: > "Our commitment to corporate responsibility is rooted in decades of acting as a responsible corporate citizen and living our core values of honesty, integrity, and treating each other with dignity and respect. We believe our continued commitment to this work is important and helps support our business mission to deliver great value to our customers every day."[^tjx-overview] On the workplace side, TJX adds: "Supporting TJX's businesses are great teams of talented individuals who embody our core values of honesty, integrity, and treating each other with dignity and respect."[^tjx-culture] And on the TJX Europe careers site: "We're down to earth, honest and fair people who care about the impact of our business on the world. We're supportive and considerate too, always working as one, setting clear goals and striving to reach them."[^tjx-eu] Bring stories that demonstrate being honest with a customer or colleague when it would have been easier not to be, holding the line on integrity under operational pressure, and treating someone with dignity and respect when there was no incentive to.

Start your interview in a place that is **quiet** - away from kids, pets, lawnmowers, etc. Not only will the person viewing your video have a hard time understanding you, loud noises right when you are about to answer a question might sap your confidence. Even though you might be at home, **dress** as if you were at an in-person interview. People viewing your answers appreciate the professionalism of someone that took the time to think about this issue and record using appropriate clothing. **Lighting** is absolutely key. If you record in an environment with low light, you'll come across as a blurry, barely recognizable mess on video - which does not help your chances of getting hired. Open your curtains to let in lots of natural light or turn on lights to brighten up the environment. When it comes to lighting, more is always better - as long as the lights aren't pointed at your camera! ### TJ Maxx HireVue interview questions Below are some TJ Maxx sample questions. * Tell me about yourself (a classic Hirevue question) * What was the toughest challenge you've faced * Tell me about a time you faced a problem with a team member * Tell me something that is not on your resume * Access more of these questions at **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**! ### Walk in ready Practice makes perfect - boost your confidence before the interview by **practicing** for your TJ Maxx HireVue interview on a tool like **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**.
