The interview at HomeGoods was pretty simple. I talked to the store manager, we went over my past work history and when I could work, and they told me what the job involved. I got the job the next day.

I was taken to the back room and asked some questions about my schooling, if I could work well with others, and my ability to adapt. While I was answering questions about what teamwork and efficiency mean, the interviewer was looking at papers or their computer, which felt rude and unprofessional.

It was a pretty chill interview process, honestly. Everyone was really nice and they didn't ask much during the hiring. I chatted with the store manager and they offered me the job on the spot. I didn't take it though, 'cause the schedule they had wasn't working for me at the time.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • Can you tell me a little about yourself?
  • What makes you want to work at this store?
  • Do you have previous retail experience?
