Candidate-reported interview process

The hiring manager was really chill and made me feel comfortable even though I was super nervous. They told me I was doing well. It was a really good experience.

It was pretty quick, they asked me why I should get hired and why I wanted to work there, my availability and then hired me on the spot. The next day I just did paperwork and started.

Interview was a while back. It was my first job, and it was very simple. I basically just checked out customers. When things were slow, I would help out on the sales floor by organizing and putting items back.
