Interview
I just walked in and asked if they were hiring. He had me come in the next day he asked me mostly about any retail experience I had which at the time it was none. He then gave me a little information about GNC telling me that it was minimum wage, plus commission on some items.

Question 1
Most difficult was the phone interview, even though I didn't have to do one I have been with them long enough to see it done a few times. The phone interview is trying to find a reason not to hire the applicant. Biggest reason many phone applicants don't get hired, because they don't keep it short they keep going on and on. Keep phone interview answers to a minimum. The other reason people don't get hired during the phone interview, because they don't articulate what they are trying to say. It's ok to not know right away but the "Umm, Uhh" don't do it not a good idea. And since they can't see you face to face use your mega manners to impress it's the only chance of a job some will get. good Luck!
Initial phone call describing the job duties and asking how I can fulfill those duties. Then an in person interview where I was asked about my product knowledge and sales experience. I was offered the job that day.

I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at GNC (Charleston, SC) in May 2022
Interview
Brief and on the phone, simply checked your basic knowledge of the products you would be selling and make sure you are willing to learn. Most of the required information was trained on the job.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GNC (Thornhill, ON)
Interview
Interview itself was average, but the background work was intense. Interview was revolved around general questions such as availability, previous selling experience, any experience with supplements and health products etc. All references were contacted for lengthy discussions. A bit excessive for such an entry level job.
