The interview was quick and they seemed unprepared. The interviewer was late and didn't know why I was there or what I applied for. When I asked questions about the job, they didn't know what it entailed.

I applied on their company website and had to wait a week before I called the store to see where I was in the application process. We scheduled a day and time for the interview. The interview process was pretty simple and straightforward. I felt comfortable and welcomed. They asked some basic questions to see if my skills were a good fit for the job. The interview lasted about 15-20 minutes.

Confirmed questions3 questions

  • Would you feel comfortable asking customers to complete online surveys?
