Candidate-reported interview process
The interview process kicked off with a recorded online interview where I had to answer questions by recording myself. I had three chances to re-record if needed. Honestly, I wasn't a fan of that part, it made me feel more nervous than a face-to-face interview would have. If you managed to get through the online part okay, they'd then give you a call to set up an in-person interview.
Once you submit your application, they will send a link for an online pre-interview, which is done by a third party. Academy will then be alerted about your qualifications. If they think you're a good fit, you'll have an in-person interview with an Academy manager. It's a straightforward process with very basic interview questions.
I went to the store for an interview. It lasted about 30 minutes and they gave me an offer right after. Pretty straightforward process.
