I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goodwill (Orlando, FL) in Oct 2017
Interview
I applied online and few weeks later I got called for an interview. I went to the interview and first I had to do a damn math test. That was annoying. Then I did the actual interview. And then they said they will send an email with background and drug test information. I called them back about 3-4 days later to see where they were at with the email and everything and the manager said yes I am going to send the email now. So she sent an email with the information the same day I filled it out and the next day went to take my drug test and the HR called me the next day and said I was good (Ofcourse cause i don't do drugs) & now they are checking on my background and will call with more information.
Easy; straightforward. There were two managers. One asked questions about my job history and the other asked questions about my experience being a cashier at the previous job I worked.
Process was pretty straight forward. Asked a few questions, shared about my experience, and was able to ask any clarification questions. Good experience even though I didn’t take the role
