I interviewed with The Dump's General Manager for the Sales Manager position. But unexpectedly, I was offered a part-time sales role instead. It felt unprofessional and not what was presented initially.

I got a quick call back. The interview was brief. They walked me through the store and asked about my past jobs and how I handle problems. The interviewer was cool and relaxed. I got the offer two days later.

It was pretty quick and easy. They got in touch the same day I sent my CV. Then the hiring manager called me. She asked about my availability and if I could come in for an interview that week. I was free so I went over. The offices were pretty close to where I live.

The Dump is always looking for sales associates. They prefer some furniture experience, but sales experience is more important. I just walked in, filled out an application, and the manager was really interested because it was Christmas time. My tip is to apply when they're busy. I had an interview and got hired. There's not much room for negotiation, and you work their hours: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and holidays.

  • Do you believe the customer is always right?
