It was pretty easy, like a standard process. They asked some basic questions about my retail experience and some personality questions. They really wanted to know about my experience in the industry and why I wanted to work at that specific store.

Submitted my application online and heard back pretty quickly, like the next day via email. Then they set up an in-person interview. It was pretty straightforward, they just asked about my past experiences, why I wanted to work at this specific store, and my availability. They actually offered me the job right at the end of the meeting.
