Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was quick and easy. It was very informative, fun, and energetic. There were a lot of managers, but they were flexible with their work schedules. The process was quick and easy, very informative, fun, and energetic, with many managers who were flexible with their work schedules.

I applied online and then had a quick in-person chat with the store manager right at the store. We talked about basic stuff related to retail or sales, like why I wanted the job, how my interests aligned with what the store sells (books, comics, records, etc.), and how I'd deal with tough customers or colleagues.

I applied on their website and also mailed an application. Then I was invited to a group interview with 8 other people. I accepted and then got a second interview, which was one-on-one.
