Applied for the job on-line. A week later got a phone call for an in person interview. No unusual questions and a standard interview. The interview lasted about 30 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They did ask about experience in retail hardware sales.
Pretty easy and direct. Appreciated the flow and conversation with the hiring manager. I learned a lot about the company and what they're looking for. Overall the questions were around why i would want this role, experience, etc
Very fast and easy. Mostly behavior based. Enjoyed both interviewers as they were sociable and very easy to talk to without feeling awkward in any way. Would definitely say one of the best interview experiences I have had.
I applied on their website and then they called me about a week later about the job. Then I scheduled an interview which they were very flexible on. I applied to three different stores and the only one that called me back was the one in the city I live in.
