I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Goodwill (Richmond, VA) in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied for the job and the next day I got a call from the hiring manager that asked me if I had any cash handling or retail experience. I said no to both and based off of my application she was still interested in me so I got to come in for an interview the next day. I was asked very basic questions that most people could answer without preparing. Then when I took my drug test. I had a mini interview by the gen. manager that asked me personality questions, such as how do I handle stressful situations.

Question 1
How do you handle stressful situations in the work place?
It was very quick and easy. It was on site and very low pressure. They made it feel very comfortable. The interview lady was very nice. I ultimately turned down the job, but I did remember the process and how pleasant it was.

simple, barely any questions. they didn’t ask much, first time worker and they still hired me sooo but that was 2021. It wasn’t awful but not very structured. could’ve been worse
Called me on the phone and set an in-person interview. Asked a few questions in their office, with just one manager. Interview probably lasted 30 minutes, with basic questions about my cashiering experience, why I was looking for a job, etc.
