Behavioral Technical
Applied online after seeing a job board posting. About a week later, got a call for an interview. It was a one-on-one in the back room. They asked pretty generic questions like why I want to work there, what I liked and disliked about my last job, what's most important in sales, and a time I had to work with someone I didn't like. Pretty much, just make sure all your answers are focused on customer service. Even though I had no sales or cash experience, if you focus on customer service, you'll be fine. Use keywords like personalization, up-selling, goal oriented, etc. Be happy, don't be a robot!

The interview went well, with many questions. They asked detailed questions about my previous employment to get specific facts. There was one question that was a bit unclear. The manager and assistant manager seemed really nice. We even shared some jokes and laughed, which made it seem like a positive workplace. The interview started exactly on time, and we immediately began with the questions.
