Interview was in person with the manager. They preferred to hire locally. It was a relaxed environment. The store is very small and has tight facilities. The interview process is the same for volunteers. They gave more information about the store than they asked questions.

Behavioral Presentation
It was a straightforward one-on-one chat. The store manager asked me some basic stuff about the job and told me about the company. It felt pretty chill and the manager was really nice. After they hired me, we had a training session with other new sales folks one weeknight. It was cool.
