The interview process was brief and very pleasant. It took about 15 mins. I waited for a few minutes up front and then I was brought back to the main office by the Store Manager.
I was asked a handful of questions.
- Tell me about yourself.
- Tell me about your previous job and it's responsibilities.
- What does customer service mean to you?
- What does teamwork mean to you?
- Describe a time you had to handle a variety of different tasks and how did you handle it.
- What's your availability?
Then she explained the position, its hours, the starting pay, how pay raises worked, and then I was asked if I had questions.
I asked questions regarding if there were pathways to advancement, if there is adequate support and training for new associates (if there would be someone to turn to if questions or assistance was needed), what the team and work environment was like, and what was her style of leadership.
Then I was asked to write down three references and their numbers on a paper. She told me she would be reaching out to my references and as soon as she heard from them was as soon as she could extend a job offer.
They reached out to me the following day to offer me the position.
