It was pretty casual. Since this store is small, we did the interview in person, outside at tables. They had a separate application form, and most of the questions they asked were based on that, not really on my resume.

When I got to Papyrus on Lexington Ave, the staff was really welcoming. The person in charge gave me an application, which I took home and returned the next day with my resume and cover letter. I dressed professionally both times I went in. Within two weeks, the store manager called to schedule an interview. On the day, the same staff greeted me. The manager, a very energetic woman, shook my hand when we met. The interview was pretty straightforward. She asked about my previous jobs, my skills for this role, if I was in school, and if I had another job. I saw my resume in a pile, so I figured they were just going through applications. At the end, I shook her hand again, and she said I'd hear back within a week. I got a call three days later saying I was hired and to come in Monday for paperwork and my schedule.

I saw a sign in the window at Papyrus that said they were hiring. I went in and asked about available positions. The manager quickly scheduled an interview with me to discuss potential roles. I arrived 20 minutes early to show I was serious about the position. The interview was easy-flowing and comfortable, with simple questions. The interview concluded, and the interviewer mentioned she would pass my information to the hiring manager for review and a potential callback. It was a bit confusing as the interviewer couldn't specify which positions or locations were available.
