Technical Behavioral

You begin by completing an online aptitude test on the application site. If you do well, they'll contact you to schedule an in-person interview. The interview itself was pretty chill, just one-on-one with a manager. It wasn't super formal or intense, actually felt pretty friendly and I was comfortable asking stuff. Good for students wanting retail experience since it was laid-back and the interviewer didn't stress you out or criticize if you didn't know something. After the interview, they'll let you know the results and if they're offering you a position.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • What experience do you have?
  • How would you be a good fit for this position?
  • What would you do if a customer needed assistance?
