1. Application: creating a store thru Shopify's platform. I used this as an opportunity to sell myself, show off some personality and have fun. There are technical requirements that may vary depending on when you are interviewing ( I was required to add a dropdown menu, incorporate an app, and embed a video/voice clip explaining why I want to be a Guru). If your application looks good and fulfills all the requirements, you will receive an email from Talent Acquisition to set up your Life Story interview. 2. Life Story Interview. This has been well documented on glassdoor so do your research. It appears to be a "culture fit" interview, but I did find that the person who interviewed me was engaged and seemed genuinely interested in understanding who I am as a person. There are no prompts, and I'm not even sure if the Shopifolk who interviewed me even saw my application. I recommend understanding how you can capitalize on your "Life Story" to show why you would be an excellent fit for the position, as well as highlighting your key competencies and skills. Let your personality and communication skills shine. Build rapport and ask good questions. 3. The Gauntlet (skills test). The same day after my Life Story interview I was asked to book the Gauntlet- essentially a 2-3 hour role play with a Builder on what it is like to be a Guru. My role play consisted of 2 phone calls, 2 chats and 2 emails. Sink or swim, this was perhaps the most stressful part of the interview. After each round, your builder will give you feedback. APPLY THIS. I recommend reading through all of the resources they give you before hand, and even keeping those resources open. All questions asked should be available publicly via google or the shopify resources. 4. Chat w/ Squad Lead. This is when you get to talk to one of the Guru Squad Leads and learn a bit more about the Shopify Culture. Before this I was asked for my references (whom were contacted). They get your feedback on the gauntlet, and let you know a bit more about KPIs and will be available to answer any more questions. 5. Got the offer! It was quite a lengthy process and took a lot of time investment but overall, a very positive experience

The first Interview was on phone interview. I did not pass through to next stage of the process, which was an online test. After that would be another formal interview.
