WHERE TO START? THE ON-LINE JOB APPLICATION
Many things have changed in recent years about getting a job, and now
companies and businesses are using online job applications instead of a
paper one. While it has streamlined the process a lot, it has also taken
away from the more personal satisfaction with seeing someone face to face.
While some of the procedures are the same, there are many other
differences.
A really big tip when filling out a job application is not to put “any” where
you are asked what position you are looking for.
If you are looking for a job online, companies will post what positions are
available, including corporate jobs, internships, and distribution, not just
their retail store positions. If you put “any,” they don’t have the time to
find a place for you and your application will be rejected right away.
Whatever you do, be honest when filling out an online application. A
potential employer can find out almost anything they want about you with
a simple internet search.
They can find out about any criminal record you may have, and even your
credit score. If you have a criminal record, you don’t have to go into great
detail, if they really want to hire you they will. Being honest right away
will get you a lot farther than lying.
While applications online makes it easier for people who tend to scribble
when they write, you still have to have the correct spelling, and make sure
you get the name of the company right!
Even if you are filling out many applications at a time, take your time and
make sure there are no mistakes, employers don’t tolerate poor spelling
and grammar.
Even if you are just getting started in the work force, you can still put
down work experience. If you ever had a good babysitting job, or mowed
the neighbor’s yard, you can use these people as not only an employment
reference but also as a personal reference. Parents make good personal
contacts as well.
Even though you are not seeing someone in person you still have to conduct
yourself in a professional manner. Be quick and to the point filling out
information from other jobs, and again, make sure that their contact
information is accurate.
HOW TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION: • It is important that you read the entire application form before you
start filling it out. Read the instructions carefully and follow them
exactly. Completing the application properly is very important,
because the application is your first chance to present your skills to
the employer.
• Employers review the information on job applications when deciding
who to schedule for job interviews. Remember that employers often
judge the appearance of an application as a clue to how much
importance you put on the quality of your work.
• Here are some helpful tips to follow when completing applications:
• Be honest in your answers.
• Have all the information on hand that you might need to fill out an
application, such as a fact sheet with the names and telephone
numbers of your references and past employers.
• Fill out the form neatly and accurately.
• Apply for a specific position, rather than entering "anything," or
"open" for the desired position.
• Leave no blanks.
• Write "Does Not Apply" (or "N/A" for Not Applicable) in the space if
the question does not apply to you.
• Explain lengthy gaps in your work history, for example, "attending
school."
• Read and check the application for completeness before turning it in
to the employer.
PERSONAL DATA Employment applications request a wide variety of personal information
ranging from your social security number for employment tax purposes to
questions about your personal hobbies and interests. The following list
provides examples of how to complete the most typical information
requested on job applications:
• In the name field, be sure to note in what order the employer wants
your first and last names. Print neatly. If you have previously applied
for a job with an employer, make sure that any name change on the
application is noted.
• Use an address where you can receive mail. You may also be asked
how long you've lived at your current address.
• Provide your telephone number with an area code. If you use a
message number, make sure that everyone at that number knows
what to say for you or that the message on a message machine is
appropriate. For a business number, include an extension number if
one is available.
• Be sure that you meet the health requirements for the job. If a
physical examination is a condition of employment, the employer
must pay for it and can only request it after you are hired.
• All applications ask for information about the schools you've attended.
Usually you will need to list the city and state where the school was
located and any degrees earned. List your education, detailing any
special courses. Be prepared to provide transcripts, if requested.
If you have any professional certification, licenses, or registrations, list
them. For example, you may be a licensed cosmetologist, dental hygienist,
or have a special class driver's license.
If possible, avoid entering birth dates or school graduation dates on an
application.
Some applications request information about prior misdemeanor or felony
convictions.
WORK DATA • Always fill in the space for the "Position Desired." Never write "any" or
"will do anything!" A vague answer makes it difficult for the employer
to visualize how your special skills will meet their company needs. It is
acceptable to list more than one position, but do some research first
so you know job titles used at the company.
• In the salary desired field write "open" or "negotiable" rather than
putting in a salary figure that might be too high or too low. The
employer will look at the salaries paid previously.
• In the availability field write "immediately," if you are available to
start right away. If you are currently employed, indicate that you are
available to start after giving two weeks’ notice. Giving two weeks’
notice makes it more likely that you will get a good reference from
the employer. Be knowledgeable about the hours required for the job.
New employees rarely have a choice about the hours and shift
available.
JOB EXPERIENCE Under work experience, the application form usually asks for your job title
and dates of employment; the name, address, and phone number of the
employer; and a description of your duties. Some applications also ask for
your salary and your supervisor's name. Include part‐time and full‐time
jobs. Make sure that the dates of employment don't overlap or conflict.
If asked for the reason you left a job, use positive phrases like: "to take a
job with more responsibility," "moved," "seasonal," "business closed," "job or
contract ended," "temporary work," " laid off," " reorganization," "returned
to school," " or "career change." Avoid negative words like "fired," "quit,"
"absenteeism," or "tardiness."
List any special skills, abilities, experience and/or training that relate to the
position you want. If you were in the military service, emphasize the duties
you performed that relate to the job for which are applying. Have all
appropriate forms available, such as certificates.
Always talk to your references before beginning your work search, to ask
permission to use their names, addresses, and phone numbers on your
application(s). Former employers, business acquaintances, teachers, and the
clergy are all acceptable references. Be sure to keep your reference list
updated and let them know when you find a job.
MISTAKES TO AVOID Some of the most common mistakes that job seekers make on applications
are:
• Not following directions
• Misspelled words
• Incomplete information or unanswered questions
• Not applying for a specific position
• Incomplete work history, or large unexplained gaps in work history
• Overlapping or conflicting employment dates with no explanation
• Application not turned in by the deadline
• Use of troublesome words, such as "quit" or "fired"
FILLING OUT ONLINE APPLICATIONS http://careers.staples.com/
At the bottom of the page you will see “Jobs” listed under “Corporate
Information”. Click on the links to “Jobs”. There you will find the famous
“easy button” but don’t press it!
Click instead on “Search Jobs” on the bottom right of the screen. This page
provides links to any information you might want on jobs with Staples.
If you are looking for an hourly job, follow the link to “Hourly Store Jobs”.
If you are interested in management there is a link for those jobs as well.
Right now, I’m going to take you through the basic Staples hourly
employment application. The application is set up to gather all the
information necessary about your work interests, experience and
qualifications for jobs available at Staples stores.
You will need: • Social Security Number • Driver’s License Number and Expiration Date • Employment History • Personal References • Professional References The good thing about the Staples online application is that Staples store
managers within a 50 mile radius can look at your application to see if you
qualify for a job opening they might have.
So, you only have to fill out one application for multiple job opportunities.
The application is held on file, so be sure not to bother filling out a second
one if it has been less than six months. It will simply fall to the bottom of
the pile anyway.
The first step in the process is to search the jobs available through their
search venue. You can enter your zip code and a mile radius you are willing
to travel, or simply enter the city and state to find job openings. Your
search will produce area Staples stores that have job openings.
Follow the link “jobs at this location” to find the actual job openings. You
can then view the details of the job before applying.
Once you have selected a position you are interested in, you can then begin
to fill out the online application by clicking on “apply now”. Follow the
instructions on the application. Depending on the position for which you
are applying, the application will take from 10 to 50 minutes to complete.
You can create a user name and password so you can exit the application
and return to it later if you do not have time to finish it in one sitting.
The application is typical at this point. You will need to enter your name,
address, phone number and how you would like to be contacted.
You will then add your Social Security Number, Driver’s License
information and employment history. It is really helpful to have all of this
gathered ahead of time.
Once you have completed the application, just hit done and you’re finished!
Filling out a job application online for Staples is easy to do and very self‐
explanatory. Online applications are available in English or Spanish. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cashier at Staples - Accepted Offer – Feb 18, 2013 Interview Details –Here is my experience at staples. I turned in a paper
application and waited for a call. I received one from the assistant
manager in charge of hiring asking if I could come in for an interview
which I did. I arrived on time and waited about 20 minutes. She was nice
and friendly apologized for the wait and the interview began. It wasn't
much of an interview she asked basic questions such as "tell me about
yourself, why do you want to work at staples"?, why were you unemployed
for a few months'? After that she told me all about staples and the
position talked about pay which was $7.35 since I had a little experience. I
got the job easy and it was an enjoyable place to work. The tests were
given after I got the job and was doing orientation. If you missed one you
could go back and redo it.
Interview Question –There were no difficult question. They were all run of
the mill. ------------------------------------------------------------ Cashier at Staples - Accepted Offer – Jan 17, 2013 Interview Details –It was a fairly straightforward experience. I walked in,

like "what would you do if you saw a customer stealing?". That kind of
thing. ------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at Staples - Accepted Offer – Jun 5, 2013 Interview Details –It was one interview with the GM of the location I
applied to. Very basic questions, tell me about you, what experience, why
was Staples a choice for you? They said they'd give me a call within a week

and SS Card and that would be all.

JOBSITE: http://walmartstores.com/Careers/7745.aspx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photo Center Technician at Wal-Mart Stores - Accepted Offer – Jul 15, 2013 Interview Details –When applying to the Wal-Mart Stores, I recommend
following up with phone calls to check on your application and to show
them you're interested. I'm assuming a lot of people already apply to work
at Wal-Mart so it also doesn't when it comes to an applicant reaching out
to them. The interview I went through was behavior based. All the
questions were related to "a time when." So be prepared to showcase
circumstances or times you showed leadership, conflict resolution, multi-
tasking, supervisor relationship, etc.
Interview Question –For me that is the supervisor relationship question,
like the boss is wrong and you're right, how did you handle that situation.
Mostly difficult because I don't really run into trouble or circumstances like
that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sales Associate at Wal-Mart Stores - Accepted Offer – Jul 15, 2013 Interview Details –Take a common sense test. If you happen to be called
back, you see the standard interview questions that ask you to provide
examples of certain situations and how you reacted in said situations. Drug
screening afterwards.
Interview Question –None. They were 100% common sense to the common
working man/woman. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Any Positions at Wal-Mart Stores - Accepted Offer– Jul 12, 2013 Interview Details –Managers look through applicants that are both internal
and external as well as transfer associates. Through these they look at
experience as well as previous jobs. If you have experience in a specific area
put this on your application. If called for an interview you will be interview
by the Department Lead first. Answer questions with as much information
as possible, to little information you will not pass the first step. If you pass
the first step you then go to a 3 panel interview. To save time some stores
only use the Assistant Manager for the interview. You will get the same
basic set of questions just worded differently. Again use as much
information as possible and be detailed.
Interview Question –Most questions ask about specific situations, like
customer complaints, problem with a rule. It can be complicated because
the wording that is used depends on how they read them. The more
detailed the better. --------------------------------------------------------------------
Area Manager at Wal-Mart Stores - Accepted Offer– Jul 11, 2013 Interview Details –Arrived at DC, met with 2 Ops managers, both were
very cool and laid back. They both ask you questions. After them, you have
one with the General Manager, AGM, and Human Resource Manager, all in
the same room. Same questions pretty much. Everyone was cool and jolly.
• Tell me about yourself
• Why do you want to work for Wal-Mart?
• Tell me about a time that you participated in a team, what was your
role?
• Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a co-worker who
wasn't doing his/her fair share of the work. What did you do and
what was the outcome?
• Give me an example of a time when you took the time to share a co-
worker's or supervisor's achievements with other?
• Tell me about a time that you didn't work well with a supervisor.
What was the outcome and how would you have changed the
outcome?
• Have you worked with someone you didn't like? If so, how did you
handle it?
• Tell me about a time that you helped someone.
• Tell me about a time that you misjudged a person.
• How do you get along with older (younger) co-workers?
• Under which situation you need to motivate other members?
Interview Question –Tell me about yourself. It sets the stage for the rest of
the interview
Negotiation Details –Just starting out its $45000, I'm content with that.
You'll also get free stocks given to you after a year and you'll get a yearly
bonus also. Bonus is around $5000, and stocks are $8000 (you can't cash
in the stock until 5 years later though)
Cashier at Wal-Mart Stores - Accepted Offer – Apr 19, 2013 Interview Details –I had to attend 2 interview sessions one with the
assistant manager and one with the store manager. The one with the
assistant manager was fairly standard stuff getting information on my
availability and such. They wanted to know about my past retail and
customer service experience. Mine was a little scare so I had to take from
my marching band days as well as examples. The second with the store
manager was a bit intimidating but he was easy going enough he just
showed me what I was gonna get paid ($7.80/hr).
Interview Question –They wanted to know how I handled being part of a
team. But since my retail experience didn't really give me that I had to
take from my high school marching band. -------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------- USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…
Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer – Jul 8, 2013 Interview Details –I am going to post this in as much detail as possible, but
it's really just summing up what a lot of other people have said.
APPLYING I applied online on June 24th for a few different positions, basically
whatever they had open. I got a call about a week later to set up a phone
interview with a Team Leader. INTERVIEW ROUND 1 I had my phone interview with the Team Leader a few days later. It was
more of a "get-to-know-you" than anything else. Questions were:
• Why Target?
• Tell me about a time you had to work in a team.
• Tell me about a time when you had multiple projects due at the same
time.
I passed the phone interview and scheduled an in-person interview for the
beginning of the next week. INTERVIEW ROUND 2 I arrived about 5 minutes early and took a very, very simple
personality/math test. If you got through all of the application, you should
have absolutely no trouble with this.
Then, I was shown to the employee area for an interview. After being
directed to wait in the break room for a little bit, an Executive Team
Leader took me to their office and interviewed me.
IN ADDITION TO THE QUESTIONS ABOVE, I WAS ALSO ASKED A LOT OF STAR QUESTIONS, INCLUDING:
• A woman is looking for a shoe for her son, but the right size isn't on
the shelf. What would you do?
• You're ringing up a customer and an item rings up at $19.99 but the
customer swears the price was $18.99, what would you do?
After that, I was taken to wait in the break room once again. This time, a
person from HR came to get me, took me to their office and offered me
the job - conditional on passing a drug test at a lab and a background
check. (IMPORTANT: The drug test has to be done within 24 hours, so plan accordingly!) Signed the paperwork and I was hired!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer – Jul 8, 2013 Interview Details –It was overall very typical but very friendly. They ask
about your previous jobs, school, goals, etc. They also will give you three
scenarios they want you to answer/talk about. I remember one question
they asked was "when was the last time you received amazing service and
what made it amazing?"
Interview Question –None of them were difficult, just be honest and keep
your cool. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer – Jul 6, 2013 Interview Details –I applied in store and waited about two days before I
called to check my application status. They transferred me to the HR lady
and she scheduled for an interview while we were on the phone. I went it
and met with someone (who was from a different store because the
woman from this store was out for the day). Two interviews with two
different women; expected/typical questions. Didn't hear anything for two
weeks, then I got a call while I was in class saying come in because they
wanted to offer me a position. Went in that day, discussed pay, and had to
take a drug test within 24 hrs. Started work the next week. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer– Jun 22, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online within a week got called in for an
interview. Met with a GM who asked basic questions. Like: Tell us a time
when you were working with someone difficult and how you handled it.
With their questions they are looking for a problem a solution and then the
outcome. Be detailed. They score you on each answer. They are always
looking for Starbucks workers so if you say you are willing to train in that
area or have experience then you'll most likely get it.
Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer – May 21, 2013 Interview Details –I completed the online application and within a few (2-
3) days. The interview was amazing - it was so laid back and more of a
conversation than a formal interview. They do an excellent job of making
sure you are comfortable
Interview Question –Review and plan for all the questions on here - they
use the exact same ones.
• What is your biggest weakness/strength?
• When have you gone out of your way to help somebody.
• Why do you want to work at target?
• What would you do if you rang an item up to be 20$ but a customer
insisted it was 18?
• Name a time when you made a mistake and how did you handle it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COSTCO APPLICATION ONLINE James Sinegal and Jeffery Brotman opened the first Costco Warehouse in
1983. Located in Seattle Washington, the pair had come from a long line
of wholesale and retail. Sinegal had worked in wholesale for both FedMart

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…
Stocker at Costco Wholesale - Accepted Offer – Feb 8, 2013 Interview Details –It is a 3 part interview process which they do in two
sessions. They ask you questions such as “why do you think you are qualified
to work here?” and “what projects have you done that could help you out
for the company in the future?”
They give you a drug test via mouth swab which they find out the results
ASAP. Then they do a back- a-round check which takes about a week to
process. Interview Question –
• Why do you think you are qualified to work here?
• What projects have you done that could help you out for the company
in the future? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Produce Stocker at Costco Wholesale - Accepted Offer – Jul 8, 2013 Interview Details –Submit an application online, later talk to local
management and get an interview setup, wear professional attire and be
open about customer service. A second interview will be conducted by the
manager of the department you are likely to work in. This interview will be
essentially the same as the first. Orientation will take place and training
will begin within a few days. Interview Question –
• What are the 6 rights of merchandising and how do they apply to
Costco? - These can be found in the Costco employee handbook.
Negotiation Details –Offered a position in morning Merch which I turned
down, then they offered a position on the front end, same pay, this one I
accepted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Food Service Assistant at Costco Wholesale - Accepted Offer – Jun 28 Interview Details –The hiring process was fast and efficient. I applied for
Costco end of May and they called me in June for an interview. They called
me in for a "third" interview the next day. So in reality I only had to be
interviewed twice.
There are two managers who interview you.
They will both ask you questions for a total of 14 questions.
It's important that you maintain focus on the person asking you the
questions. One of the managers will try and distract you and sometimes
their walkies will go off, but continue to stay focused on the interview.
I skipped the second interview because the managers felt comfortable with
me. Just be yourself and you should be fine. Humor is important as well. I
was able to make them smile and laugh.
The third interview is just a detailed description of the job duties and what
to expect and they will ask you if you accept the job. I took the drug test
that day and signed papers. This process took only 2 days.
Interview Question –There was no difficult or unexpected question because I
went in prepared and practiced most of the answers at home. The
questions are pretty much all listed on this website. Also if you know
nothing about Costco, be sure to do your homework on it before the first
interview.
Cashier Assistant (Front End Assistant) at Costco Wholesale - Accepted Offer – Jun 17 Interview Details –Applied to Costco last April and it took them 1 month
to call me back for an interview. Once they called me they scheduled me
for an interview the next day and when I arrived I was sent to the break
room to wait for the two supervisors. The interview went well, it was
basically situational questions and how I would react. Then they said they
would call me within a week, however i never received a call so I called
them back a week and a half later and they explained how I was supposed
to get an interview 2 days after my first, but the manager was too busy so
they scheduled me for the second interview the day after.
My next interview was before Costco opened so I had to go through the
side and once I was there I met with 3 individuals one who was the general
manager.
This interview was really easy, they just want to get a feel for who you are
and if you're fit for the job or not. Then they said I got the job and did the
drug/alcohol test on the spot. Interview Questions
• Why should we hire you?
• Why Costco?
• How do you demonstrate safety among your customers? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Stocker at Costco Wholesale - Accepted Offer – Mar 15, 2012 Interview Details –After applying online, you wait. Then if you qualify, you
are called in for a first interview. 1ST INTERVIEW- They call and ask you to come in. You meet with 3 managers, all of which
ask you the interview questions. The managers vary in ranking. They will be
an assistant warehouse manager, and 2 managers from the department
you're applying to. Questions were meant to analyze you're professionalism
and how and what you know about the company, and why you are
interested in working there. The interview lasted about half an hour. If
they like you, they'll call you in 2-3 days asking you to come in a second
interview. 2ND INTERVIEW- This interview is set up the same way as the first. A one on three
interviews.
The managers, which are different from the first set, ask you about your
work ethic and how well you would perform in certain situations. Again, If
they like you, they will call you in for a third interview. 3RD INTERVIEW – A new set of managers ask you about the same questions asked in
interviews 1 and 2. Very short. They offer you a position and ask you to
come in for orientation. Interview Questions
• When did you encounter a difficult situation - how did you handle it?
• What do you know about Costco? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Stocker at Costco Wholesale - Accepted Offer – Feb 9, 2011 Interview Details –I applied online but had a sibling who works for Costco
talk to the hiring manager, and she called me within minutes of hearing I
applied.
Costco is definitely the place where you need to either:
A. have an inside connection or a cousin or two to front for ya!
B. Call or visit the store to talk directly to the manger in order to score an
interview.
I went in for my interview and they give everyone three different
interviews but they decided to do 2 in 1.
Basic questions of why pick Costco and the standard scenario questions
were asked. They also ask to see if you're able to accept some of the hard
physical labor involved with being employed there.

Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's - Accepted Offer– Jul 1, 2013 Interview Details –I had only one interview and it was a group interview.
We each went around and answered the same question, each time starting
with a different person. The questions were very predictable. I was called
back less than a week later and received an offer.
Interview Question –No question was difficult or unexpected. Pretty basic-
Is the customer always right! -------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's - Accepted Offer – Jun 30, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online. Got a call to setup an interview two
weeks later. The interview was simple. Just a one on one. Other people say
they had a group interview but that isn't always the case. So easy!
Interview Question –None. It was simple. Few situational questions and why
you want to work there.
Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's - Accepted Offer– Jun 21, 2013 Interview Details –I applied to kohl's on snag a job, I was called in for an
interview about a week later. The interview was fairly straightforward,
most of the questions were " tell me about a time when..." and I was hired
on the spot, but had to wait a couple of days while they do a background
check.
Interview Question –All the questions were What you would expect of a
retail interview. --------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's - Accepted Offer – Jun 19, 2013 Interview Details –It was a group interview, asked if you were okay with
pushing credit cards, how would you help a customer with a question you
weren't sure of, a time you have been late for an appointment and how
you handled it, how would you react to having to change your duty
quickly?
Interview Question –Nothing was unexpected
• Describe a time where you have went beyond the expectations for a
customer.
• Describe a time where you have had to sell a certain item for a
company you worked for.
• What was it and how well did it go?
• Why do you think Kohl's offers Kohl's credit cards?
• What does it do for the company and for the customer? --------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's - Accepted Offer– Apr 4, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online at snagajob.com and within a few days was called for a interview. It was a group interview with about 10-12 of us. We sat in a circle and one of the managers and the secretary asked us about six questions and we went around the circle one by one answering the questions. Some of the questions included: 1. Tell me your name.
A: Give your name and a very brief history of work experience/ why Kohl's
interest you/ at least one strength you have that relates to the job (ex: I
enjoy giving customers a rewarding shopping experience or I love solving a
customers, or persons, problem so they are completely satisfied). Make sure
to keep the answer brief though. 2. Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer. A: I did not have experience in retail (first job) but I did explain how I went
above and beyond for the people I volunteered for. Not having experience is
alright as long as you give compelling answers that relate to the job. 3. What does good team work mean? A: Explain the positive attributes that make a good team (great
communication, positive attitudes, willing to work with one another to
accomplish a common goal for the customer, building one another up). 4. What if you had to help a customer but they were out of your department? A: Explain that you would do the best you could, however, you may need
to consult someone from the department to help. Make sure you say that
you would do whatever necessary to make the customer extremely satisfied
(extremely satisfied is their tagline so they would probably love it if you
mentioned that).
The interview was around twenty minutes and we were informed that
they would call us within the next few hours to see if they wanted us for a
second interview. I was called back soon and came for a second interview. I
met with the head manager and the manager that was there for the first
interview. I was asked four questions, one of the questions included: 1. How do you feel selling a Kohl's credit card? A: My answer was that I loved giving customers something would add value
to their lives. Explain why you think the card is beneficial to customers
and that you are determined to sell that card
(TIP: IF HIRED, YOUR JOB *IS* TO SELL THE KOHL'S CARD AND COLLECT EMAILS, THEY DO VALUE CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT SELLING THE CARD AND EMAILS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT). Note: This was not so much an interview as it was me being told more
information about the company and being told you are hired. I would
make sure to do research on the company, the card and good answers to
interview questions, though I worked the holiday season and they almost
hired anyone really good interview answers make you stand out and
become an instant hit among the managers. Interview Question – What if you had to help a customer but they were out of your
department? ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales Associate at J. C. Penney - Accepted Offer – May 24, 2013
Interview Details –I had put in an application online and was called for an
interview not too long after. I went in on a one-on-one interview and was
hired in about 15 minutes.
The manager didn't even ask me any questions besides why I would like to
work at JCPenney. She talk to me more about the company. She seem she
had it made up in her mind before I came in that I was hired.
I'm happy to be hired so easily but I had practiced all the answers to
questions I might be asked and the fact that I wasn't asked anything made
it seem like they were desperately looking for someone, although their
well-staffed. I would have felt better if I was hired because I answered
questions correctly. I guess I got hired because of my experience and I was
friendly and well-dressed.
The manager told me specifically they were looking for happy people. I
have to say when I was waiting to be interviewed in the waiting room the
workers there were friendly and asked if I've been helped, so I felt a
warmth there that I never felt at Macy's.
Interview Question – Why J.C.Penney's?

since I just needed a part-time job and not looking to stay with the
company forever, I accepted. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at J. C. Penney - Accepted Offer – May 6, 2013 Interview Details –It took forever to meet with the manager. Left me alone
to do a very long and confusing computer process. Videos were extremely

a different location. They asked me to come in for an interview. I showed
up and the questions were VERY basic and easy. Mainly having to do with
being a team player and working with customers.I had to meet the store
manager after the first interview the supervisor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at J. C. Penney - Accepted Offer – Apr 6, 2013 Interview Details –interview were group interview of about 8 to 10 people
you really gotta make yourself known for something so were something
really really nice like a suit. Interview Question –
• What was something you did that impacted someone's life? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at J. C. Penney - Accepted Offer – Mar 10, 2013 Interview Details –I applied online and was called with in twenty four
hours. The interview was set up for the very next day, and lasted only
thirty minutes. Very basic questions, what you would expect. It was strange
to have as many interviewers as I had (four) sitting in on the same
interview. I was offered the job on the spot and started two weeks later. Interview Question –
• Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at J. C. Penney - Accepted Offer – Jan 31, 2013 Interview Details –Firstly, I put up the application online and took the
questionaire which is about 50. After 3 days, I gave them a call just to
draw their attention to my application. the lady i spoke with said they
would review qualified apps and call for interview. I was contacted the next
day to come for a group interview 2 days later.
I got to the interview exactly 15mins early and we was directed to the

Nordstrom Application Online
Nordstrom application online- The original Nordstrom
store opened its doors in 1901 as Wallin and
Nordstrom, by founders Carl F Wallin and John W
Nordstrom. Nordstrom had been looking for a new
business venture, after his recent good fortune, and
settled on a shoe store.
His cofounder Wallin, owned the adjacent shoe repair
shop. It took twenty-two years before a second store
was opened, and by this time Nordstrom’s second son,
Elmer, was able to run the store. A few years later
John Nordstrom retired from the business selling his
shares to his two eldest sons; Wallin retired shortly after also selling his
shares to the boys. The boys continued selling shoes for an additional 35
years when they added the Best Apparel of Seattle Company which is
when the store changed to Nordstrom Best.
Nordstrom Application- Today Nordstrom operates 116 Nordstrom stores
and 95 Nordstrom Rack stores.
Job openings at Nordstrom: At Nordstrom you’ll find a lot of things to do.
If you are good at sales you might consider becoming one of their
commissioned sales people http://about.nordstrom.com/careers/
Nordstrom careers: http://about.nordstrom.com/careers/ You’ll work with Nordstrom’s customers to help them find the right piece.
Remember it’s all about the sales, since you will work on commission but
there is no reason to be pushy or rude.
The best sales people sale the customer without them even realizing it.
If you’re not great at sales, don’t worry you don’t have to be the hard
seller. Nordstrom locations also are in need of tailors to assist with
alterations, merchants to help make sure that the latest trends are
available, and even support staff. If you do hair that doesn’t mean you
can’t find a place here.
Several Nordstrom locations have the Nordstrom Spa to help their clientele
feel even more beautiful. Many of their locations also have a restaurant and
they are in need of helpful wait staff, cooks, and other restaurant positions.
Remember, with all things in life, you MUST take action! You MUST stay
persistent in order to accomplish your goals in finding work.
It's all about taking advantage of all your resource, and today you have the
internet on your side! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…
Sales Associate at Nordstrom - Accepted Offer– Jul 7, 2013 Interview Details –There is a 3-step process. First, there is phone interview
with the HR manager or assistant. Then you'll be invited in for a 2 part
second interview with the HR manager and the department manager.
Once you pass these two, you will be called back for a final interview with
the store manager. During the interview with the department manager,
you will be asked to demonstrate your selling abilities by choosing a
product and "selling" it to the manager. This is a major part of the
interview.
Interview Question –I wasn't expecting to have to sell to the manager. I
had to pull items and explain why I did and why the customer would need
them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at Nordstrom - Accepted Offer – Jul 7, 2013 Interview Details –I felt like I had the job just by applying. Nordstrom loves
to hire within the Nordstrom family, and I'd worked part time at the
Espresso Bar at a different store for two years before moving to a different
city.
I applied online at about 1AM, and received a phone call at 10AM the
following morning. And the HR rep that phone "interviewed" me, basically
just seemed to be making sure that I wasn't a crazy person. I was
interviewed in person a couple days later, and again, it seemed to be just a
formality and that going through all the official questions and role playing
was more to evaluate my level of starting competence, and that I was
already hired. At the end of the interview, I was immediately hired and
asked to start as soon as possible. Since I'd had a vacation planned I would
miss the new employee orientation, but my boss said she'd have HR waive
the requirement for me. Basically, I got the job just by having had a good
reputation with Nordstrom previously. They actually seemed pretty
desperate for new employees, which I found out later was due to my
manager's control freak ways. I don't mind it though, and it all turned out
nicely for me. Quick and easy!!!
Interview Question –I was asked to role play selling to a customer (my
boss) who was looking for a date night outfit.
Negotiation Details –My schedule was super complicated. I was finishing my
last semester of school, still had a week to go on a summer internship, and
was planning a vacation for the week after. I also said I would need the
week before Christmas off. (In retail, that is usually not even an option.) I
originally wanted around 20 hours a week, and 25 at the most for the big
holiday weeks. She talked me up to 25 hours and 30 hours maximum, but
did allow me my vacation times. But in reality, once I did start working
that 25 hours crept up to 30, and the 3o hour maximum from before
ended up at around 36 scheduled hours. Then I got pressured to stay late
a lot. So basically, the big negotiation about my hours was entire ignored
for my first few months. Eventually, I had to threaten to quit entirely
reducing my hours and keeping my Xmas vacation. --------------------------------------------------------------- Retail Sales Associate at Nordstrom - Accepted Offer – Jul 15, 2013 New Interview Details –I filled out the application online for multiple part time
openings. I then received a phone call the following day from the HR
manager. I happened to be in an interview at the time at Nordstrom Rack,
but the voicemail was very nice and she explained how excited she was to
talk to me and set up an interview. I returned her call thinking it would be
short and just scheduling an interview...turned out to be a phone interview.
Nothing to stress, it was probably 5 questions such as tell me about
yourself, your work experience, why do you want to work at Nordstrom’s,
etc. It helped that I had just come from an interview at the rack because
they both asked me the exact same questions for that phone interview/in
person interview.
Everyone at Nordstrom's is very nice and they really make you feel
comfortable and at ease during the interview whether the rack or full line
store. I was interviewed by three different people and they were all down
to earth and very nice doing anything they could to make me less nervous
about being interviewed which was amazing since other employers can
really take advantage of the already stressful process. They read from a
paper and have to write it down which I was surprised about but it also
helped since it gives you some time to think/more relaxed than being
drilled with questions. There were a lot of "how would you" situational
questions such as "if you were organizing a rack of clothing and a customer
needed help, what would you do?" well of course help the customer since
that is their #1 mission...even if they can tell you are nervous/not sure how
to answer and mess up a little bit they respond with positive feedback.
At both the rack and the full line store all my answers were responded
with a "perfect" or "great".
Overall the interview took less than 20 minutes even though they say plan
for an hour. It ended with her explaining they are conducting more
interviews but she will call me either way on Friday (2 days after my
interview) about their decision. She called like she said she would and
offered me the position.
Interview Question –I wouldn't say any of them were too difficult as long
as you can think of examples for the situational questions. Examples of
questions were
• What do you know about Nordstrom?
• Why do you want to work here?
• Explain a time you went above and beyond for a customer.
• Explain a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer, how
did you handle it?
• What do you think is great customer service and how would you
supply it?
• How do you prioritize?
• How do you feel about this job being commission based?
• Have you ever been in a job that is commission based? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Retail Sales Associate at Nordstrom - Accepted Offer – Jun 14, 2013 Interview Details –Submitted resume online. A few days later I was called
by a man in human resources and asked questions on the phone. He then
invited me to an interview in the store. He asked me basic customer service
questions ("What would you do with a customer who...."), and at the end
invited me back for an interview the next day with the manager of the
department I was applying for.
We met the next day, and it seemed to help that she recognized me from
shopping in the store. She asked me some of my favorite brands, and a few
questions about customer service. She then took me out to the floor and
did a mock shopping trip, where she acted as a customer and I had to help
her shop for a "trip to Vegas". She called the next day and offered me the
position! Overall stress free, and everyone was very nice. Interview Question – Name a time where you had to provide a customer with exceptional
service?
Seasonal Cashier at Nordstrom - Accepted Offer– Jun 2, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online, received an offer for a phone interview a
few days later (even though I did not receive one for several other positions
I applied for). Scheduled the phone interview for a few days later, which
was quick and mostly behavior/personality questions. It lasted about 10
minutes, and at the end they asked me to come in for an in-person
interview. I was called the next day and scheduled the in-person interview
for a week later. Had an in-person interview with the HR manager (same
person as the phone interview) and was asked basically the same questions.
Then directly after I met with the department manager and assistant
manager, with very similar questions. I was offered the position 2 days
later.
Interview Question –When is a time that you went above and beyond what
was expected of you? =====================================================

Cook at KFC - Accepted Offer – Jul 7, 2013 Interview Details –The hiring process was different in my area, but that
could be because our stores are owned by the Harmon Company. From
what I understand, the Harmon Company is the only company to do this
(meaning other KFC's) type of hiring. During the first interview, I was
talked to by the hiring manager.
Once that was over, like any other interview, I was called in for a second.
The second interview, however, was recorded on a tape recorded. Same
lady interviewed me, same questions, but the answers would be listened to
by somebody hire up. From what Orientation told me, there are right ways
and wrong ways to answer those questions. They are looking for a specific
type of employee and based of those answer, you are either that type of
person or not. Again, this is only with the KFC I work at. Not sure if the
other ones record the second interview as well.
Interview Question –When they asked me if I ever used my
feelings/emotions to take advantage of a situation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team Member at KFC - Accepted Offer – Apr 9, 2013 Interview Details –They ask you questions. They are not very hard, just the
basic questions you would accept. The interview is not hard at all. However,
the manager told me that they only hire people who smile during the
interview. So just smile like the world is a happy place.
Interview Question –There is no hard question. -------------------------------------------------------------- Team Member at KFC - Accepted Offer – Apr 7, 2013 Interview Details –Open interviews every Saturday. Just walk in and get
an interview. After my first interview, I did not get a call back until 6
months later which then I was interviewed again. This time with a tape
recorder. Got called a week later saying I got the job.
Interview Question –I can't remember the questions exactly but a lot of
them were situational questions! -------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at KFC - Accepted Offer – Mar 8, 2013 Interview Details –Interview was short no real personal questions. Did not
ask why I wanted to work. No real personal connection to anything. There
was also so much going on once hired no one was actually doing hands on
training to teach how to do things by code. I got a book and was told that
it would teach me everything that i needed to know.
Interview Question –I was not really asked any questions besides how I
found out about the job. ----------------------------------------------------------------
Cashier at KFC - Accepted Offer – Dec 9, 2012 Interview Details –If your application or resume is chosen you will be called
in for an interview with either the manager or the co-manager. The
interview consists of a series of basic questions about yourself and your
personality and customer skills. If the person interviewing you likes your
answer you will then be hired.

Online Del Taco Part Time Job Application Del Taco job application is highly
recommend as it is a chain of North
American fast-food restaurants
specializing in Mexican-style
offerings, as well as American foods
such as burgers, fries, and shakes. Del
Taco is led by President Shirlene
Lopez, and is headquartered in the
city of Lake Forest, California. Their
primary rival is Taco Bell.
Originally named Casa Del Taco
(House of the Taco), the first Del
Taco restaurant was founded in
Yermo, California in 1964 by Ed
Hackbarth. On the restaurant’s first
official day of business, Del Taco
made $169.
In 1964, Hackbarth partnered with real estate broker David Jameson.
Success of the first restaurant led to three in Barstow and a fourth
restaurant in Corona (the first Del Taco with a drive-thru window). Dick
Naugle, who installed the kitchen equipment in the Corona store, was
impressed by the design and joined Hackbarth and Jameson in the
fledgling business.
In 1966, the trio founded Red-E-Food Systems, Inc. with the idea of
franchising the Casa Del Taco brand. That same year, the original Del Taco
sun logo was created and in 1967, Del Taco introduced their famous bean
and cheese burrito with green or red sauce to their menu.
Before long, the restaurants were being founded throughout Southern
California. http://deltaco.com/page42.html LOCATION(S): http://www.deltaco.com/locations.html

Arby’s Job Application Online Arby's job application- Arby's was
founded in Ohio in 1964 by Forrest

was a market opportunity for a fast
food franchise based on a food other
than hamburgers.
The brothers wanted to call their
restaurants "Big Tex," but that name
was being used by an Akron business.
Instead, they chose the name "Arby's,"
based on R.B., the initials of Raffel
Brothers (and the initials for "Roast
Beef").

Crew Member at Arby's - Accepted Offer – May 26, 2013 Interview Details –I submitted a paper application in person. The Store
Manager was there when I turned it in and they made an interview date
right then. The interview was easy, no real tough questions were asked. The
store manager (the interviewer) recognized that I had no prior experience
in any job so instead of asking me situation-based questions they asked
about my personality and my volunteer experience. I'd like to think I got
the job on my own merit but it's important to note that at that time they
needed new hires quickly because they had just fired a number of
employees. The manager told me I got the job and asked me when I'd be
ready to start, which was basically after I got myself some black pants and
non-slip shoes. That day they scheduled my training for the following
week. Interview Question –
• Why Arby's and not another fast food restaurant? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Crew at Arby's - Accepted Offer – May 24, 2013 Interview Details –I was called in for an interview by the assistant
manager. I was asked general questions about me, why I wanted to work
for the company. Overall I felt like the interview went well. I went home
and a few hours later the assistant manager called to schedule a second
interview with the general manager for the following week. I went in and
gave it my all, I was asked the same questions but I felt more challenged.
He asked me questions I hadn't thought of. This was one of the best
interviews I had Interview Question –
• Where do you see yourself in 5 years? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Arby's - Accepted Offer – Mar 3, 2013 Interview Details –I handed in my application and had an interview on the
spot. It was about 20 minutes long. The general manager said he normally
doesn't do this but I seem like a nice girl and I hold myself very poised,
then offered me a job. The General Manager was very nice and considerate.
Interview Question –Describing what I like to do in my free time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at Arby's - Accepted Offer – Jan 7, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online for a sales associate and within a week I
received a call back. The interview was very quick and easy. Most of the
questions were centered on being able to count money and if you have any
thing going on which requires you to be on time. I was offered the job right
after they interview ended. Good starter job, but would not recommend if
you plan on being there for more than a year.
Interview Question –No difficult questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Server/Greeter at Arby's - Accepted Offer – Nov 17, 2012 Interview Details –I responded to a "Help Wanted" flier posted on the door
of an Arby's restaurant and asked one of the employees for an application.
After filling out the application and returning it to the manager in a
prompt manner, I received a call for an interview. The interview took place
at the restaurant and focused mostly on my previous work history. It was
a very short, standard, low pressure interview. A day or two later, I
received a call from the manager offering me a position.
Interview Question –The most difficult questions centered on what I would
do in the case of a difficult customer or my comfort level in preparing
sandwiches in a prompt manner. I believe there was also a question about
what I would consider to be my greatest strengths and weaknesses. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Backline Closer at Arby's - Accepted Offer – Jul 17, 2012 Interview Details –They called me in and just gave me the job, I’m thinking
because they were desperate. Which in my opinion is a terrible way to hire?
Because of this I worked with many annoying people. The store manager
was cold and had no personality, when I had asked about healthcare
and/or sick time, she was rude.
As if I was asking for something that would never be deserved, she said
you’re not going to be full time...two weeks later I was working six days a
week for a whopping 36 hrs.
Interview Question –The applications have a personality test, very
irritating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fast Food Worker at Arby's - Accepted Offer – May 14, 2012 Interview Details –When I first applied for the job, I was required to fill out
an application form like most other applications including my phone
number so they could contact me if they wanted to give an interview.
About 1 week later, they called my phone and asked me if I would be able
to come in for an interview the next day and I said yes. Basic questions
were asked including repeat questions from the application form as well as
new questions involving computer skills and other things. I recommend dressing up for the interview as well. If you are competing with other high school students looking for part time employment, then it can only help to get all the advantage that's possible.

Subway Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – Jul 15, 2013 New Interview Details –A fast food joint like subway doesn't have the most
stringent of hiring policies but there are hoops and it takes some skill and
timing to jump through. The story of my hiring begins with an associate
from high school that I just happen to re-meet when he was working at
the store that happen to be hiring. I walk in say. "Hey I'd like a sandwich
and didn't I go to school with you?" He says, "Yeah! How are you doing,
John (for these purposes my name is John)!" I say, "Never better uh you!"
The rest was him saying to his manager he knew me, me getting an
interview after filling out an application with my lack luster work history,
and me being myself( i.e. a slightly more charismatic, friendly nerd than
similar non charismatic nerds)
Interview Question –None. There were no difficult or unexpected questions
because I had been looking for work for a long time and had interviews
with all sorts of employers and they all pull from the same bucket. You get
used to answering the same questions and preparing different answers for
failed interviews. The most annoying parts of interviews, however, are
when they say they can't use you because of your inconstant schedule.
Subway didn't have a problem with this so here I am. PS To make it more
clearly the 'difficult' question was my availability. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer– Jul 5, 2013 Interview Details –Got called early at 6 in the morning, asking if I could
come around 9.I came in, was about 5 other people and then me in total.
Did interview, just asked standard questions. Said if I passed, he'll call me
later. Got a call that same day around 1:30 asking me to come in at 3:00.
I come in, and was offered a job. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – Jul 1, 2013 Interview Details –The lady I met with to interview me was interviewing
me for another person. I thought that it was a little odd that someone was
interviewing me for someone else. She seemed to really like me, so she sent
me to have a second interview with the lady that she was hiring me for.
She liked me too, and I got hired. I didn't get to work until about a month
later though. Interview Question –
• What was my biggest accomplishment in the work place? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – Jun 30, 2013 Interview Details –I applied online and was contacted a week later. While
waiting for the interview, they make you fill out another application which
has math questions and formulas for the food preparation. I was
interviewed and asked common questions. Left and was called a week later
for a second interview (to establish training and what Subway is like). Interview Question –
• What do you expect when you walk into a restaurant?
• What does down time mean and what should you do during it?
• What do you do when you are stressed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – Jun 13, 2013 Interview Details –I applied online, and got a call about a week later asking
me to come in for an interview at the headquarters in South San
Francisco. This was my first job, so I didn't really know what to expect.
I wore something pretty casual: black pants, white button-up and a gray
cardigan with black flats.
It was pretty standard and laid back. She asked me about my weaknesses
and what I'd do in certain situations. It was mostly getting to know me.
She also asked if I was comfortable with working in a fast-paced
environment. She was basically asking me yes or no questions towards the
end of the interview.
By the time it was over, she told me to sign up online for the Subway
University online training. I was hired on the spot. It was fairly chill and
laid back. Interview Question –
• What would you consider your weakness? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – May 3, 2013 Interview Details –When I applied, the Subway was in a small town. I
showed up and the manager asked me a few questions (why I wanted to
work there, what my available schedule was, if I could get along with
others, etc.). That was it. It wasn't a typical interview process because they
had just opened and needed people quickly.
Interview Question – • Why I wanted to work there?
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – May 1, 2013 Interview Details –I got a call for an interview after a couple of days of
turning in the application. I answered a few simple customer service
questions and that was it. Job was offered Interview Question –

Cashier at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Jun 22, 2013 Interview Details –Interview was simple, straight to the point and fun.
District manager was very nice and I started the next day.
Interview Question –The sandwich station was the most difficult but I'm
still new so we will see how that goes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Crew Member at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – May 20, 2013 Interview Details –Applied on snagajob.com, got a call a couple days later
to come in for an interview. Manager was busy so I talked to a shift leader.
I handed him a resume (even though this was my first job) and he was
pretty impressed. He said my resume pretty much summed up the whole
interview. But he did ask me "What are your top 3 traits that will make
you a great employee at dunking donuts?" . After that, we discussed
availability, and I start work next week :)
Interview Question –standard interview questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Apr 23, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online ,called 1 week after for an interview.
Asked about the interest, previous experiences. Even though i didn’t have
much experience, but the recruiter gave me the job. He asked whether I
have the driver’s license, since i don’t have at that time ,he asked is u
planning to take license in the near future. Also asked about any previous
exposure to customer service settings or any food services. Interview Question –
• How much you expecting as salary? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Team Member at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Apr 1, 2013 Interview Details –The interview process for me was very, very easy. I went
in April 1st, 2013 and filled out an application, and then handed it to the
store manager. The store manager asked me to sit in the dining room and
he came out to speak to me. He asked me one question and hired me on
the spot. The interview process was super easy for me and I start April
2nd, 2013 at noon. The store I work at is in Augusta, GA right up the
road from the masters, so I know that next week will be busy.
Crew Member at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Mar 28, 2013 Interview Details –It is best when you know someone like the manager or
the crew member, in my own case, i knew a crew member who put in
word with the manager for me. But you must have your green card if you
are a non-us citizen, your social security number. The interview process is
basically questions on your background etc… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Crew Member at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Mar 8, 2013 Interview Details –I went in Dunkin Donuts to get a dozen donuts, there I
saw an ad for wanted help for after school I'm currently in High School, so
it was perfect for me!
The Ad also said that "All applications without Cover Letter will not be
considered." So then, I asked for an application, and went straight home,
filled it out, and created a Cover Letter, which included my qualifications,
experience, extracurricular activity, why I wanted to work there, volunteer
and work experience, accomplishments, and contact info. (Note that I'm
only 16, and a senior, so I don't have that much work experience, but
believe me, it's all about your wording, and how you advertise yourself
through that paper).
I asked for the manager later that day, but she wasn't there so I just
turned the papers in to the guy I got it from. 6 days later, I called in to
check up on my application.
The manager said that she hasn't called for interviews with anybody yet,
she asked my available hours, and she also said that she'd note that I
called. Then 5 days later, I called again to check up on my application, she basically said the same thing, and that she'll note that I called a second time. (You got to show them that you're really interested in that job).
A couple days later, she called me, asked me about my work experience,
available hours again, and asked my age. I'm 16, and they usually hire 17
or older, but she said that she'll ask her boss to see what she can do. About
an hour later, she called me again, this time she said to meet her at the
dining section of Bashas' at 2:30 p.m. since she doesn't work at that time,
she also told me to bring a copy of my State ID, and Social Security.
So that's how I got my interview. The next day, I started getting ready at
1:30, I put on a Shirt and Tie, Slacks, and Dress shoes, and a little bit of
cologne to make sure I looked presentable. I paper clipped the copies of my
State ID and Social Security (DON'T STAPLE!!).
I arrived at Bashas' at approximately 2:20 because in Interviews, 10
minutes early is what's considered "on time." When she came through the
door, I greeted her with a warm smile, and a firm handshake. We both
greeted each other, then I gave her the copies of my documents, and then
she said: "I'm really impressed with your cover letter, you sound like a
wonderful young man. So I'm gonna tell you, I'm already going to give you
the job, it's yours."
I was so surprised that she told me this in the very beginning of the
interview, so then after that I filled out a bunch of paperwork, and chatted
about the work environment, and that's that. She already had me on
schedule, I start in 3 days. So my best tip is: Make an awesome Cover Letter to go with your application even if you're not required to, and call them once a week to check up on your application to show your persistence. Good Luck!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crew Member at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Dec 13, 2012 Interview Details –the store i was applying for was not open yet it was a
franchise location (bp gas station and dunkin donuts) , i filled out the
application on snag a job, and ten minutes later i received an email saying
to give them a call to set up interview. So i called the manger the next day
and she told me to come in the next day for interview at 12pm,!!! when i
got to my interview the store was a mess lol, so we went in the middle of
the floor and there was a big box right there and that’s where i had the
interview we were standing up the whole time lol, the interview was really
easy, i promise you . I hate interviews and i suck at them too. But this one
was GREAT, she never asked stupid situational question. we mostly was just
having a regular conversation about the store opening, how many people
she hired or was going to hire, her other stores she have open...also she
showed me around the store which was REALLY small, but very nice. She
then said she liked me and had a good feeling about me. she had 3 more
people to interview so i was not hired on the spot, but she told me to call
her that Monday to let me know if i was hired, Interview Question –
• Why do you want to work here?
• Where did you work last and how long you been there.
• Do you have any questions for me?
• So how do you feel about working here?

Safeway Application Online Sam Seelig founded his company,
the Same Seelig Company, in 1912.
At this time he opened a single
grocery store in Los Angeles. Within
10 years that sing store had become
a chain of 71 stores.
Unfortunately, after World War one
the chain was in debt with its
grocery wholesaler W.R.H. Weldon,
who took over the company while
leaving Seelig in charge of the retail side of the operation. Two years
later, Seelig decided to leave the company for a different venture. At
this time a contest was held for a new name and Safeway won out.
Today the company has grown to include Safeway and 9 other
subsidiaries totaling over 1,500 stores.
SAFEWAY CAREERS: You can also work as a cashier, ringing customers out and making
sure they have found everything. Stock clerks are also important as
it’s their job to help make sure that the store shelves are fully stocked
and help to maintain a clean store.
Distribution is also important to Safeway. As a warehouse worker it’ll
be your job to help fill the orders at the distribution centers. You’ll
help to load the trucks with what the stores in your area needs. You
must be meticulous about filling the orders so that no one gets
shorted.
Many of the Safeway locations have pharmacies. Pharmacy techs are
on hand to help the pharmacist fill orders. Pharmacists are staffed to
ensure that the prescriptions from the doctors are written correctly
and filled accurately. They are also responsible for answering any
questions that the customer may have about a prescription or over-
the-counter medication. http://www.careersatsafeway.com/ LOCATION(S): http://www.safeway.com/IFL/Grocery/Store-Locator --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Courtesy Clerk at Safeway - Accepted Offer – Jul 13, 2013 New Interview Details –I applied online on the Safeway website. After a
week, i met with the store manager to discuss the status of my
application. She got my name and would call Human Resources to
setup an interview with me. I got a call the next day; being offered
an interview tomorrow. My interview was at a different Safeway
than the one I applied to. I met with the store manager in her office
in the back of the store. She was very nice and polite. At first, she
asked me simple yes or no questions like, "When can you start," and
"what hours can you work". I had a good feeling I was going to get
the job already. Then she asked me more in-depth questions.
Afterwards, I was offered the job and did a drug test on the spot.
Currently waiting on the drug results which should come in a week
but I should pass them and I was told I will start training on the spot
shortly after they come back. Interview Questions
• Discuss a time where you had a disagreement with someone and
how you worked it out.
• Discuss a time where you had to help a disabled person. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courtesy Clerk at Safeway - Accepted Offer – Jun 7, 2013 Interview Details –I was called after a week of turning in my
application online. They wanted me to come in for an interview right
then, and seemed insulted when I said i was unable to. We scheduled
the interview for the next day, and the girl who interviewed me was
very nice but seemed much more nervous than I was. The questions
were your basic questions, and I didn't have much to respond with,
with this being my first job and first interview. They didn't offer me
the job, but did a drug test right there and had me fill out
paperwork and was told to come back the next day. I was never
officially offered the job, so I was unsure if I was coming in to work
or for a second interview. Turns out I was hired and was coming in
for training. Very quick and not very structured. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produce Clerk at Safeway - Accepted Offer – May 26, 2013 Interview Details –Online application, got a call and scheduled
interview for next day. Fairly easy questions, basically if you dress up
and show up you already have the job because they always need new
hires. On the spot saliva test to save time and money and started the
next Monday. Try to get produce, bakery, or meat dept. as the deli is
disgusting and being a cashier hurts to stand in one spot for hours. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cashier at Safeway - Accepted Offer – Mar 1, 2013 Interview Details –I had one interview. The hiring manager wanted
me to work there because I had previous experience. Only had a few
simple questions about my availability. No work related questions
about customer service and such. Very easy interview. Even did
cotton swab drug test on the spot.
Interview Question –There was not a single hard question.
Negotiation Details –My previous job was for another grocery store,
and I left there making journeyman wages, so I wanted to make sure
I would be getting journeyman wages there as well. I was told I
would be getting the top pay, but they hired me at entry level, and I
had to stick it out making half of what I was making before for 2
months, (during my probation period.) After that, the union helped
me get my deserved salary and everything was fine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Safeway - Accepted Offer – Aug 21, 2012 Interview Details –I had applied online and received a call from them
within 2 weeks. The interview process was fairly slow. With me there
were 3 other people in waiting. The interviewer had 2 sets of 3 pages
and he asked me questions like, why i was interested in working for
Safeway and a situation where i had to go above and beyond. No
questions were asked regarding wage. They asked how I’ve handled
difficult customers in the past.
They are basically looking for peppy individuals. Have a smile on your
face. Be confident. Dress professionally (don’t overdo it) and prep
your answers in advance.
It went pretty well and i was hired. It’s been 2 weeks since the
interview, background check and final paper work and i still i haven’t
received a schedule. That’s the most annoying part.
Interview Question –no difficult question as such. there were questions like: • What 3 things would you suggest to a customer who buys cake
from Safeway.
• Pick one of the products sold at our stores and suggest it to a
customer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cashier at Safeway - Accepted Offer – Apr 9, 2012 Interview Details –Walked into the Safeway with my resume and
told them I needed a job to make some extra money. Once they saw I
was going to college I'm pretty sure I was hired. They asked me a few
questions about handling certain situations such as workplace conflict
and demonstrating leadership then gave me a drug test. Got a call
back later that day and told me I had to report to a training session
in two days. Interview Question – When is a time you have been challenged at you workplace? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…
Sales Associate at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Aug 20, 2013
INTERVIEW DETAILS – GENERALLY YOU GET 3 INTERVIEWS. Each manager or supervisor will go through hypothetical situations and
role play with you and also follow up on selections made through the online
application test.
Interview Question –Most are expected. There is a script they follow and can
deviate slightly from but most are normal questions expected from a retail
establishment. ------------------------------------------------------------
Sales Associate at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 7, 2013 Interview Details –common interview questions of retail. Emphasize your goal
of moving up and of helping others (customers). ------------------------------------------------------------- Part Time Cashier at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 5, 2013 Interview Details –You apply online and then it can take up to almost a
month to get a phone interview which you must pass to get and in store
interview. They don't tell you on the phone if you have passed or failed the
interview and it takes forever, almost a month for me, to get a store call
back. If you pass the store interview they will give you information for a
drug test and it took them a month to call me back to schedule training
and orientation.
If you need a job ASAP…DO NOT go for Home Depot,
their hire process is very long and you tend to hate it
when you get there which waste your time as well. As far as interview questions go, they ask how you've ever shown great
customer services, if you work well when a customer gives you a negative
attitude (because they will all day long) and if you give acceptable answers
they will hire you. One thing they don't do is discriminate, i do know that
much.
Interview Question –The most difficult question they could probably ask you is
why you want to work there, just be truthful. Even if you need extra
money, that's a fine answer they just want to know that you'll give proper
customer services -------------------------------------------------------------- Merchandiser at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 5, 2013 Interview Details –Even though it was a merchandising position, the interview
consisted of a few role playing questions about customer service. Example
"how would you help a customer looking to buy gloves?" I was also asked
about my greatest strength, my experience in merchandising.
Interview Question –Role Play: "How would you help a customer with gloves?" -------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 5, 2013 Interview Details –First you apply online, then you wait. If you get a phone
call, it's to schedule a phone interview. If that proceeds well, then you get
an interview with the Associate Support Coordinator, and if that goes well,
you get a second interview with the manager of the prospective
department. Drug test follows. And you're hired. However, I only had one
interview and got hired. -------------------------------------------------------------- Lot Attendant at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 5, 2013 Interview Details –got a call from the hr for a phone interview and they
asked basic question then they scheduled me for a store interview. I
interviewed with one manager and then had a second interview with the
store manager and he offered me the job. I had to take a drug test within
24 hours.
Interview Question –Why should we hire you over another applicant? -------------------------------------------------------------- Home Depot Cashier at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 1, 2013 Interview Details –I applied online and a couple of days later I got an Email
stating that they wanted to ask me some questions. I called right away the
Rep asked like 4 basic experience questions. At the end of the phone call
she offered me an in person Job Interview. I went the Interview a week
and a half later. I was interviewed by the HR Manager, she asked me like 4
basic customer service questions. Got offered a part time job right after
took the drug test right after now I’m just waiting for my schedule.
Interview Question –Where do you see yourself in 5 year? --------------------------------------------------------------
Sales Associate at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Aug 30, 2013 Interview Details –The interview process was a bit mechanical and impersonal
over the phone first. The same goes for all Stores that I applied to: a
computer would ask some easy questions over the phone, and would
program a phone interview with someone either right away, or for another
day, so that would add additional insight if you are chosen for the phone
interview immediately. Then, I submitted an easy questionnaire over HD's
Website, with rather funny questions... Eventually, someone called me for
the personal interview, and I was interviewed twice: by HR and the Lead
manager. I was offered the Sales Associate position.
Interview Question –A behavioral question on how would you close a sale,
under rather unusual circumstances...? --------------------------------------------------------------- Part Time Cashier at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Aug 15, 2013 Interview Details –I applied online and about a week and a half later a
number from Atlanta (the main office) called me and had a formal over
the phone interview. After that she asked me what day I could go in to my
local Home Depot for another interview with the Hiring Manager. I went in
on Friday August 9th and arrived about 20 minutes early. From the start
he told me he was looking for a Part Time cashier and said the interview
would be a total of 6 questions. It was really calm and laid back. We only
went through about 3 questions and he asked me if I would accept the job.
Interview Question –If a customer walked in and the store didn't have the
item in stock, what would you do? ---------------------------------------------------------------

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…TACO BELL
TEAM MEMBER AT TACO BELL – Accepted Offer Interview Details –Walked in and filled out a paper application. The next day I had the interview and she told me to call her in the morning. I called and I was hired. The next week I signed documents and was told about my
uniform and protocol. Started working later that week.
Interview Question –What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Negotiation Details –Just be yourself and let your personality shine.
------------------------- TEAM MEMBER AT TACO BELL – Accepted Offer Interview Details –I placed my initial application online and was contacted within a couple of days. I also filled out a paper application on site for my
file. My interview was prompt, easy going, answered my questions, and
detailed my duties and rate of pay. I was hired on the spot, sent to do a
drug test, and within 2 days the results were back and I was placed on
training schedule.
Interview Question –I did not find any question unexpected or difficult. I have
several years of job experience, so I drew on past experience to answer
questions and to ask questions.
Negotiation Details –Dress professionally with hair and makeup done for
women, no sloppy or baggy attire, and conservative dress for females with
no dangly jewelry. Obviously well groomed and bathed. ----------------------------------------------------------
TEAM MEMBER AT TACO BELL – No Offer Interview Details –First they tell you to come early but make you wait a long
time to get interview.
They ask you if you want something to drink right when you get in. Then
when they start to interview you they ask a couple of questions. General
questions about your experience, availability, and your goals. They also
want to know what you hope to gain from working there. There next step
is to call you for a second interview which means you were hired.
Interview Question –question: They ask you to come up with a creative way to
tell the customers to have a nice day ----------------------------------------------------------
Interview Questions • Why do you think we should hire you over everyone else?

• Tell me a situation where a customer came to you yelling and upset
about something and what you did to fix the problem. ------------------------------------------------------- TEAM MEMBER AT TACO BELL – Accepted Offer Interview Details –They call you in for an interview. When you arrive they seat
you down in the restaurant at a table away from the crowd as best as
possible. Ask about your previous work history. Your schedule with school,
other job etc… (Nothing personal just what you want/need to share).
Then you both sit there filling out paper work and the GM helps if you
have questions. Then you call their Main HQ and confirm it all with those
guys over the phone.
If you already showed up with black shirt, cargo, non-slip shoes you might
be in luck and start that day.
They provide the first uniform shirt, hat, name tag free of charge. Interview Question –
• How would you handle an upset customer?
TEAM MEMBER AT TACO BELL - Accepted Offer Interview Details –The interview was done on the spot right after filling out
my application. I got the application from the cashier at the front register
and filled it out on site. I asked to speak to the manager in charge, and
presented to her my application. She asked if I had a few more minutes for
an interview, so we sat and began the interview process. The questions
were more of character than work history.

Amazon hiring 70,000 seasonal workers for holidays Amazon.com Inc. announced that it will hire 70,000 full-time seasonal workers in the U.S. to meet holiday order demand. Some of those hires will be at Amazon's Phoenix warehouse and distribution facility. The hiring plan represents a 40 percent increase over last year, the Seattle-based company said in a statement Tuesday morning. Amazon converted “thousands” of seasonal workers recruited in 2012 into regular full-time staff and expects to do the same this year, it said. According to Bloomberg, Amazon is boosting warehouse investment to reduce the time it takes to get products to customers amid rising competition from retailers such as Ebay and Walmart. Seasonal workers at Amazon earn about 94 percent of the starting wages of fulfillment center employees and are eligible for health-care benefits, the company said. In July, Amazon said it would boost staff in 17 U.S. warehouses by adding more than 5,000 full-time jobs. Wal-Mart, the world’s biggest retailer, is hiring 55,000 seasonal workers and adding another 70,000 part-time and full-time workers, seeking to bolster its workforce for the holiday season and reversing staff reductions that have made it hard to keep store shelves stocked.

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…AMAZON…
“KIND OF MORE LIBERAL THIS YEAR!”
Have you been convicted of a felony or misdemeanour or
been released from prison from a felony or misdemeanour
conviction in the last ten (10) years? PRETTY STANDARD SO FAR…RIGHT? If NO, enter N/A or NONE into this field.
If yes, please list convictions that are a matter of public record. Please
indicate the nature of the offense, date, country, state and disposition. ARRESTS ARE NOT CONVICTIONS.
Similarly, do not include convictions that led to a diversion program or
that have been sealed, expunged, pardoned, judicially dismissed or
otherwise treated as non-convictions by law. Applicants in California do
not include marijuana – related misdemeanour convictions that are more
than two (2) years old. HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE… “Convictions will not necessarily disqualify you from employment”
So if your previous conviction is not related to this position (crimes related
are theft, fraud, some violent crimes and “so” offences are deal breakers
and STOP READING HERE…SORRY!) then you are good to go…DWI/DUI’s
are only important if you are operating a truck or a forklift…
WHAT YA GOT TO LOOSE BROTHERS AND SISTERS?
As the old Man use to say…the worse thing they could do is hire ya!

pick up, and our Amazon Fulfillment teams go into hyper-speed!

Fulfillment network. Our associates work overtime to ensure that we

count their tenure in our fulfillment centers by "how many peak seasons
they have worked" — we are all proud of what we can achieve during this
time of year.
AMAZON "PEAK" IS WHEN HISTORY IS MADE, AND AMAZON FULFILLMENT IS WHERE IT ALL HAPPENS.
* mezzanines = In industrial applications, mezzanine floor systems are
semi-permanent floor systems typically installed within buildings, built
between two permanent original stories. These structures are usually free
standing and in most cases can be dismantled and relocated. Commercially
sold mezzanine structures are generally constructed of three main
materials; steel, aluminum, and fiberglass. The decking or flooring of a
mezzanine will vary by application but is generally composed of b-deck
underlayment and wood product finished floor or a heavy duty steel,
Cement rods, aluminum or fiberglass grating.

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…AMAZON
WAREHOUSE Associate at Amazon.com - Accepted Offer – Jul 24, 2013
INTERVIEW DETAILS –Hired direct upon company opening new building in
October of 2011. Was time tested on skill to verify accuracy of items. If
this was not passed in the allotted time you were excused and could only
apply as a temp with Integrity Associates. After passing skill test there was
a short interview followed by a drug test. INTERVIEW QUESTION –
• Can you work in a building that exceeds 90 degrees or more for 10
hours? ---------------------------------------------------------------- STOW/SHIPPING AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – JUL 22, 2013
INTERVIEW DETAILS –Went to the Integrity Staffing website, filled out the
simple application, and scheduled an appointment all in 30 minutes. A tip
on how to dress was to dress casual, but I went in a dress shirt and tie
because it wouldn't hurt just in case.
At the interview, I walked into a well-lit, air-conditioned, and orderly
building where I got signed in and did a quick ten minute citizen test. A
ridiculously easy test. Mostly questions connecting well-known movies and
books to their respectable titles. Afterwards, I waited for about 20 minutes
until I got called by my interviewer. Again, easy questions. Got the job and
information for the orientation.
After the informative orientation- which included a couple of videos on
sexual harassment and lawsuits following- I came back on my assigned first
day and got trained. Training took about two hours, which flew by. It
consisted mostly of how to do your job safely and correctly. "Bend your
knees, not your back", you know. For some reason, my group and I didn't
get to go to the actual warehouse where we would be working that day.
Instead, we were sent home.
On my ACTUAL first day, I went to work with my assigned Ambassador
(your on-the-job personal trainer). My Ambassador was only there for a
day teaching me the basics and secret hints for Stowing (my assignment
job).
To cut this story short, in a nutshell, my job is to be a bona fide librarian.
Scan the books, put them on the shelf, and you move on to the next book
or DVD.
Pros:
-Pays very well for an entry-level job. This is my first job.
My pay is 11.50/hr. -May vary depending on the warehouse location, but my department is
filled with good-natured people in a great atmosphere. And the supervisors
are friendly and attentive to questions.
-The break room is large and holds multiple soda, hot food, and ice cream
vending machines. Also has microwaves, refrigerators and coffee stations.
Cons:
-The hours are unreliable due to Amazon hiring a boatload of people left to
right. Due to this, the promised 40/hour a week shifts are in reality 11-
28max hours a week. This might be due to the fact that I was hired at the
beginning of summer. Amazon's peak season isn't until October-January,
the busiest time of the year for most shipping companies.
-Not so much of a bad thing, but in order to keep my job, I would need to
shelve 360 books an hour a few weeks into the job. I take back what I said
about being an ordinary librarian. This job is fast-paced and you either
keep up or get written up enough times to be terminated. Thankfully, I've
sped up my rate by 260 items an hour. But come on, the top Stower
shelves 750 items an hour?! A computer is probably the best for all I know.
Anyway, this job is tedious and slow despite having to stack and shelve
faster than humanly possible. Make sure to pack your Gatorade chews and
Red Bull for the long haul of 10/hr shifts that feel like ten years. INTERVIEW QUESTION –
• Will you be able to speed up your rate? ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATE AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – JUL 22, 2013
INTERVIEW DETAILS –Application, Phone interview, then in and invitation to
interview in person
INTERVIEW QUESTION –general interview question none related to work being
performed. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WORK FROM HOME CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – JUL 8, 2013
INTERVIEW DETAILS –A little over a week I submitted my application online I
got an email from a recruiter informing me of the next step in the process,
which was an online assessment. The assessment consisted of four parts:
1) A simulation assessment that took about 30 minutes to complete. It is a
mockup of a customer call, it plays audio you enter some information into
customer service software such as an order number, verify the callers
address and then submit a ticket at the end saying what the "customer"
called about.
2) A problem-solving assessment that took about 15 minutes. You can use
paper/pencil and a calculator to complete it.
3) A personality questionnaire that took about 15 minutes.
4) A computer compatibility test. I downloaded a program which then
checked which operating system I was running as well as processor speed
and internet connection to verify I have a computer that fits their
requirements. That took about 5 minutes.
Once I completed the online assessment I was immediately informed that I
was qualified for a phone interview. Roughly 3 days later I received a call
from a recruiter who scheduled a phone interview for the next week.
The recruiter called me on time and was very nice to me. I did not
consider it difficult the phone interview lasted about 20 minutes and
consisted of all behavioral based interview questions. Maybe five questions
all starting with "Tell me a time when...ECT" Mine were; "Tell me a time
when you had difficult customer", "Tell me a time when you weren't able
to completely help a customer with what they asked of you." Afterward I
asked what the next step in the hiring process was. He said that he was
happy to move on with me and explained that the next step in the process
was a background check. INTERVIEW QUESTION –
• Tell me about a time when you could not solve a customer's problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATE AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – JUN 30, 2013
Interview Details –First was just a phone call/ interview. They asked a few
background questions regarding my work experience. Then they asked for a
one on one interview at the warehouse. This is where they asked a few
personality questions to see if I meet the amazon family quality. The
interview here lead to the offer. INTERVIEW QUESTION –
• Are you able to work for more than ten hours in one day on a regular
basis? ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAREHOUSE Associate at Amazon.com - Accepted Offer – Jun 7, 2013
INTERVIEW DETAILS –I applied online and next received an email to set up a
phone interview. Once I completed the phone interview I received an email
to have a face to face interview at the job site. INTERVIEW QUESTION –I pretty much expected all of the questions because I researched
ahead of time. Just be positive and enthusiastic and you should be fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATE AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – MAY 11, 2013
INTERVIEW DETAILS –Most positions at the fulfillment centers are filled by
temp agencies. As long as your IQ is above room temperature and you
aren't addicted to any illegal substances, you'll get the job.
Interview QUESTION –Every temp candidate is given a simple test to fill out,
which tests the candidate's ability to perform simple job tasks. It also asks
if you have had any experience with a hand scanner. -------------------------------------------------------------- WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATE AT AMAZON.COM - DECLINED OFFER – MAY 13, 2013
Interview Details –Completed online application and usual questionnaire,
then received an email less than 12 hours later stating to schedule a phone
interview. The interview is on average around 30 minutes and consists of
the usual "Describe a time when...in your past employment?" questions.
After the phone interview I received another email stating to schedule the
on-site interview a week later. Plan to spend around 2 hours at the
warehouse if you’re interviewing during one of their hiring events. Sign in
upon entering, get your picture taken, then you're brought to a room
where you have a general computer test to assess you (doesn't affect
employment), and after that you're taken to a room for your one-on-one
interview. The interview consists of about five questions similar to the
phone interview about dishonest past employees, seeing coworkers steal,
why you chose amazon, etc. After the interview if you pass you're taken to
a room where you're going to receive an oral drug test and then Amazon's
offer their making you. Following that you're taken on a 25 minutes tour of the facility
and then done for the day and told to wait to be contacted for training. Interview Question –
• Describe a time when changes were made at management level that
you had to adapt to?
Reason for Declining –The wait to actually be contacted about the job and
training can extend over a month to two months; needed a job fairly soon.
------------------------------------------------------------ VENDOR MANAGER AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – MAY 6, 2013
INTERVIEW DETAILS –I applied for the Vendor Manager position and it took a
few weeks to get an email response. I had a phone interview with the
hiring manager that was very brief (about 45 minutes). I then received an
email from the HR recruiter to come in for’ an all-day interview. I hadn’t
told my previous employer that I was looking into other job opportunities
so it was a little difficult to take a full day off and then it keep changing
around because of schedule conflicts, etc. In the end we made it work after
about 3 changes. The day started at 9 am with 6 interviews (each for
about an hour) and an hour lunch break. I ended around 3:15 completely
drained. It is a long experience for sure. Each interviewer was responsible
for a different angle, but overall the questions had a similar theme. The
dress is very casual - definitely no suit and tie for the interview. The
culture is tough and it is definitely the smart kid’s class.
