Behavioral Technical
It was a pretty straightforward interview process with simple questions. You just need to show you're motivated, and it's not hard to get hired. I was asked if I had prior experience as an associate, but since it was my first job, I didn't. The manager who conducted the interview was apparently not great and didn't handle the questioning well.

The interview process was quick and straightforward. It took place at the store's office with the manager. They were friendly and didn't put any pressure on me. The questions were brief and typical for an interview. I was hired on the spot after about 20 questions and started working the following week.
