Behavioral Technical

Applied to several locations over Workpop and got a call about a week later from one location. They did a phone interview first with pretty much the same questions as the ones conducted in person. The woman interviewing me said she would let her assistant manager know how I did and I would get a call either later that night or the next morning. I got called two hours later and was asked to come into an interview. I had to fill out their official application in store then went to the manager's office for an interview. It was typical, he asked generic questions like why should we hire you, what is your experience in retail. They will call your references! If they want to hire you they will perform a background check for DUIs and a hair drug test, which I was told can trace back up to six months.

Behavioral Technical Other

I submitted an online application. About three months later, the assistant manager contacted me via phone during the day and invited me for an in-person interview. I met with the general manager at the store office a week later for a casual interview, as the managers were wearing T-shirts. Following this, I was scheduled for a hair sample drug test in Culver City before an offer of employment was extended.

Presentation Behavioral

I applied in person. Then I had a phone interview with the assistant manager. After that, I had an in-person interview with the assistant manager. Next, I interviewed in person with two floor supervisors. After I was hired, I had to do a hair drug test. A month later, they made me do the hair drug test again because they didn't take enough hair the first time. The whole hiring process took about 2.5 months.
