The HR folks were super nice and easy to talk to. They asked me stuff about myself, how I handle my time, and what I was looking for in the job. The setup process was quick and smooth. I guess having done similar jobs before made it all go faster.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was pretty standard for a supermarket, but the whole experience was very unprofessional. The interviewer showed up 20 minutes late without any explanation or apology. Instead of using an office, they decided to have the interview at a cafe table that was shared with other customers, which made it difficult because people were unintentionally eavesdropping.

About 2 weeks after applying online I got a call to set up an interview. When I got there at the scheduled time, the interviewer wasn't there, so someone else did it. It lasted about an hour. He asked a bunch of questions from a paper, like typical stuff, hobbies, past work experience, and many behavioral questions. Then he told me about four jobs they could offer and asked which I'd prefer. He said they'd let me know in about 5 business days. I felt like they really wanted to hire me, but the store never replied. I would've called them back, but I took another job, so I didn't bother.

- Can you share an instance where you demonstrated leadership?
