Interview
I got an email from the manager R at the Eaton Centre asking my availability and to come in. So I go in on the day of and he didn’t schedule me in and wanted me to wait 5 whole hours for a potential interview. I travelled from a different city just to go there so I was not happy and I wasn’t going to stay 5 hours at that mall for a sorry but you didn’t get the job. When I told him I couldn’t stay til 5 his response was this “I will email you for another time, if I don’t then.... (shrugs shoulders)”. Yea ok. Everyone looked like bums in the store and I was like wow I thought you needed to dress somewhat appropriate. Anyways what a waste of a day but at least I’m not working under someone who doesn’t respect me or my time.

Question 1
What is your previous customer service experience.
I was asked questions about my retail experience and style preferences. Overall it felt pretty casual and I was told on the spot that I would get the job. It was my first retail job (previously worked in food service/was finishing school).
