The interview process was straightforward and mostly online, with a little bit of in-person admin stuff at the end. They asked me some questions online, then we had a phone call, and finally, I had to do some paperwork in person. It was a really easy process and didn't take up much of my time.

I saw a sign in the window for the Sales Associate position and applied online. About a week later, I went in to check on my application status. The manager was really impressed that I took the initiative to come by. I received a call for an interview three weeks after that. The interview itself went really well; the manager was happy to hear about my customer service experience. It was a very straightforward process, and she offered me the job on the spot. The position is part-time, with hours ranging from 4 to 29 per week.

I applied online, and then I went into the store about a week later to check on it. I asked for the front-end department manager, introduced myself, and said I was following up on my application. The manager mentioned she was going to call me, but my visit was fine too. This led to me getting an interview. We went to the breakroom in the back to chat. She asked me basic questions like 'Tell me about yourself' and 'What are your strengths and weaknesses?' Also, 'How good are you with math and computers?' and about my availability. I got the job offer the same day, but I requested two weeks before starting so I could give my current job proper notice.
