It was a super entry-level interview, mostly asking about my availability as a part-timer and how I'd balance it with school. I chatted with the manager in their office for a bit, and they said they'd get back to me if I was a good fit.

The interview was pretty standard. They asked some basic questions about my background and what I know. There were some situational and behavioral questions too. Having customer service experience is a big plus. It helps if you're into sports, as it makes it easier to connect with what the company sells.

I interviewed with Don at the Sherwood Park Sport Chek in Alberta. He asked me to tell him something about myself that wasn't on my resume, so I talked about my hobbies. Then he asked about my work history, basically asking me to explain what was already on my resume. He seemed satisfied and asked if I had any questions. I asked about the hourly rate, and he said it was minimum wage, even for someone with 3 years of experience. I inquired about a 3-month review, and he mentioned there's a 1-year review to determine raises based on performance. I asked about the number of employees, and he said over 100, with 5 full-time. When I asked why they were hiring, he explained they were getting rid of underperforming employees. I then asked if their 1-year review was coming up. After clarifying the pay and review policy, I said I had no more questions and left. He said he'd be in touch, but I received an email half an hour later saying they moved forward with someone else.
