First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Future Shop.
Sales
It was a pretty standard interview. They brought me in and asked me about my past jobs and how I'd deal with customers. We also chatted about when I can work. They explained the job to me too.
- Have you worked as a cashier in the past?
- Tell me about your previous work experience.
- How would you handle customer situations?
Customer Service Representative
So, the interview had some basic questions, like asking about my strengths and weaknesses, and how I'd deal with busy or stressful times. They also had me take an online ethics quiz as part of the application. Then they interviewed me based on that quiz. It was a pretty straightforward process because it was a part-time retail job and I was a university student, so nothing too tough.
- Can you tell me about your strengths and weaknesses?
- How do you manage during busy periods or stressful situations?
Sales Consultant
I applied online and after a quick 15-minute phone interview, I was invited for an in-person interview the very next day. They were cool about me rescheduling it a bit. I dressed up a little with a nice shirt, tie, good jeans, and leather shoes and they liked that I put in effort without overdoing it. The Assistant Manager was really chill and helpful, then the General Manager came in and did a fast-paced interview about the department I'd be in charge of. It was tough but a good way to show what I can do. The place has a really positive vibe, everyone seemed happy.
- What would you do if a customer asked you to fix their computer instead of the technical staff?
- How would you respond if you observed two colleagues engaging in gossip?
- In a situation with three customers arriving simultaneously, how would you manage their needs?
Computer Service Associate
They only hire via online applications when they need to do a mass hiring. Otherwise they try to hire via referrals. I walked in, right up to the Department Sales Manager, had a few words with him about my interests and within 5 minutes he walked me over to the customer service desk and made photocopies of my sales awards and resume. He asked me if I could come in the next morning for my next interview. My first interview with the Department Sales Manger was the most mechanical and awkward as it included robotic questions such as "Have you ever been in situation A? If yes, what did you do to resolve it?". My second interview was with the Store Manager himself. His interview was comfortable - This is deliberate as he wants to have a normal conversation with you to get a good reading on who you actually are as a human being. This was extraordinarily refreshing. The process took ~14 days but would have been ~7 days quicker but I had just immigrated to Canada and all my references were U.S. phone numbers so it was difficult for them to make contact at the right time (3-4 hour time difference).
- Standard affair for interview questions. The 1st interview is to see how you handle yourself under pressure. The 2nd interview is a get-to-know-you session.
