After I applied, a recruiter from sales called me and made me feel comfortable and excited about the job. I got to ask about the company culture, pay, and how I could grow in the role. Then, there was a short assessment that took about 20 minutes, which was pretty straightforward, asking about how I'd handle different situations. They don't share the results of this assessment. Next was an online video interview, which was good because I could redo an answer I messed up – thankfully! You need a webcam for it. The final step was an in-person interview with the hiring manager, and she offered me the job right away! I accepted and now I have a career in home furnishings. The whole thing, from applying to getting the offer, took about 5 days.

So first, I talked to this recruiter at CF, BD. Super great guy! I was looking at two jobs there. He was really detailed, nice, and always kept me in the loop, so I didn't have to chase him down. BD has this awesome vibe and was really patient with all my questions. His positive attitude made me want to learn more about CF. Then I interviewed with JP, who's the General Manager at a CF showroom. He was really friendly and asked all the right questions to see if I'd be a good fit, you know, the usual stuff about what the company needs and wants. JP also wanted to make sure CF could help me reach my own career goals. He seemed genuinely interested in my future there. Honestly, I felt really comfortable and impressed with how CF does their interviews. It really felt like they care about whether I succeed.

I went to a university career fair and spoke with the recruiters who told me I had to fill out an online application. After I filled out the application, I had a phone interview a few days later which was easy and they asked fairly simple questions. I also had to fill out an assessment which I really overlooked and I think that's why I wasn't asked back for a second interview.
