Easy hiring event. You apply and they call to give a time to come in. Pretty easy but not the hiring by any means. It's ridiculous the questions that are asked to you.

Behavioral
It's a pretty straightforward process, and you'll likely know if you got the job after one sitting. If you've sold before, you know the drill. The manager will walk you through what's expected, regardless of your past experience.

- Do you find it easy to approach people?

Behavioral Technical Case
My interview for a sales role was pretty standard, with a few expected questions from the GM. It was surprisingly routine. The manager seemed really stressed the whole time, like a stern librarian. She barely spent five minutes on my work history and asked only a couple questions about it. The rest of the time, she just talked about the company and her own career there. Earlier, I'd checked out the sales floor and noticed 11 salespeople on duty. I thought that was too many for a weekday summer afternoon, knowing how commissioned sales can be tough with too many people. When I asked the manager about it, she seemed dismissive and said there should be sixteen people out there, explaining that customer traffic varies. That was the dealbreaker for me because you can't make money if the odds are stacked against you. Another thing that made me hesitant was how her employees seemed totally intimidated and unhappy. She mentioned she was the manager on duty, so I figured we might get interrupted, which is normal in retail. The first time a salesperson came to her door, she gave him this incredibly harsh look. It totally threw him off; he started stammering and sweating. That was another bad sign. The employees just seemed unhappy, wary, or intimidated once they realized I wasn't a customer and had an interview scheduled.
