The interview process was super quick and I got the job right away. It was a fast and easy process with a nice interviewer. I arrived on time and they interviewed me quickly. They showed me around the store and one person asked me some questions. I was a bit nervous about getting the job but was surprised when they offered it to me on the spot.

Behavioral Technical

I was interviewed at a job fair. It was pretty informal and relaxed, and happened quickly because there were many applicants. They asked the usual questions, nothing too hard or unexpected. They really needed people, so I don't think they were super selective; lots of people seemed to get through and were offered jobs.
