First, I went to the store and completed the application on a computer. After that, I took a personality assessment. Since they were holding open interviews when I applied, I had an interview right away. Then, I had a 30-minute chat with the HR manager and got hired on the spot. It's pretty easy to get a job there if you can communicate well, look professional, and have a good personality.

Training first, then the interview. It took 3 days total for computer orientation and answering questions, and you get scored on it. Then a personality test, which was easy. After that, I was called in for the actual interview, which was also easy since the HR manager was not intimidating and set a good tone.
