Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was great. The interviewers were nice and appreciated my cooperation. I had to complete some training videos. It was all straightforward, and I highly recommend it, especially for a first job, as it offers opportunities for growth within the role or elsewhere.

They only asked about my availability and how soon I could start working. They didn't really ask about my strengths and talked about how the process would go. They described the training as soon as I got there.

They asked about my availability. Then they asked if I have done the job before and if I meet the qualifications. They also asked if I have customer service experience, if I speak other languages, and if I have experience as a sales associate.
