The interview process was very fast and straightforward. The interviewer was friendly and gave me information about the job. It made me enthusiastic about this role. I'm hopeful about the next steps. Their responses have also been prompt, which is great.

It was a pretty straightforward interview process, not too tough. They asked the typical questions you'd expect for a customer service role. The company seems nice and they do offer benefits. The people I met seemed diverse and friendly enough. In the end, the pay just wasn't enough for me to accept the offer, but that might just be how retail is.

I dressed professionally and arrived early, greeting everyone with a smile. The interviewer started by reviewing my online application, focusing on my availability. As a full-time student, my availability was limited (Monday 10 am-6 pm, all day Wednesday, Friday, and weekends/holidays). Because of this, the interviewer stated my availability was too limited and the job wouldn't work out, without asking any other questions. My advice to students is to be aware that job postings might not be accurate; for example, a 'Morning Stock' role advertised from 4 am-9 am actually works 6:30 am-2:00 pm and rarely on weekends. Also, 'no retail experience required' is often untrue, as I was not interviewed for retail roles due to my lack of experience. To increase your chances, it's best to claim you're available for all hours on the application, even if it's not true, as it seems essential for being considered. If you do get hired, you can apparently make your own schedule to plan around things, which is better than being unemployed.
