I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Foot Locker in Oct 2009
Interview
Pretty basic interview. They most likely wanted to make sure I had a good outgoing and friendly personality to help customers. Was interviewed at two different stores.

Question 1
They had me give an example of a sales pitch I'd give a customer
The interview setting is a group interview. Everyone was dressed somewhat casually and in their favourite sneakers. We were interviewed by the store manager and an assistant manager in both English and French since it was in Quebec. The questions were relatively easy, and it was easy to get your personality out there in this kind of environment.

Question 1
If an item was out of stock, how would you handle that situation with a customer?
I applied online and got a phone call a week later to do the in person interview. In person I had to visit the store and ask for the manager that contacted me.
It was 10-15 minutes. Went pretty easy. They asked about me random questions and then told me about the job. The interviewer was nice and told me not to worry and that it is just general things.
