The interviewer asked more than 7 questions that were not relevant to the role or the organization, though they did a good job. The interaction did not feel friendly. Ultimately, I was not given the role.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • The interviewer asked about my permit for a seasonal 3-month role, which is valid for another 1.5 years. This was the reason given for not offering me the position.

I got a call the day after I applied, and they offered me an interview for the very next day. The interview itself was really fast and simple. They mostly just asked about my availability and if I had any previous experience in retail or with stocking items.

I applied online and got a call about 5 days later for an interview. It was pretty straightforward, as I figured. The cash manager interviewed me and said they'd call the next day for a second interview. But then I never got the call, which felt super unprofessional.

  • Are you familiar with our optimum program?
  • How would you handle a situation where you observed a customer shoplifting?
