Candidate-reported interview process

It was a formal one on one interview, but since I shopped there a lot and knew the employees, it turned into more of a conversation. We talked about my job as a professional dancer for a basketball team, and I gave them two free tickets to a game. I got a call back in two weeks saying I was hired and to bring in my information. It took some time to sort out my SIN number, and the position was filled, but another position opened in the summer, and I was hired then.

I was noticed by a manager while I was shopping, and they asked me a few things and then scheduled an interview with me for a later date. I went in, they took my photo for district management, and I was offered a backstock job that same day. The whole thing took less than a week.

It was pretty straightforward and low-key, mostly checking if I'd be a good fit for the sales team and the company vibe overall. The manager chatted with me about my thoughts on the store, retail in general, and what the company stands for.
