The interview was held in the back room with the store manager. It was pretty relaxed with simple questions. They asked about my past work experience. It turned out they always start new hires as cashiers, no matter what experience you have. I was hoping to work in the prestige section.

The interview process was really quick. They asked me a few questions about whether I had experience in retail, customer service, and with stock. I confirmed that I did have that experience, and they hired me right there on the spot. I ended up starting the following week.
