As many other reviewers have said, the job role i applied for in the departments I selected was already taken - something they only told me after the whole interview took place. The interviewer said she did not want to let me go as I was an extremely good candidate so called in four different people from different departments who all asked me their own questions. However my availaibilty did not suit that departments needs. Of course, the department I did initially apply for did suit my availability but that was no longer an option. The vibe was overall positive and buzzing but frustrating to interview to 4 people only to find that there is no space for the times I was available to work. A waste of time overall, but an ego booster if nothing else to know they really liked me. Too bad they didnt like me enough to make space for me. Onwards and upwards!

Question 1
describe a time in any situation you taught somebody something and what was the outcome.
The interview process was straightforward and fairly quick. It started with a phone interview from a recruiter or hiring representative who asked general questions about my background, availability, and interest in the role. The tone was professional but conversational, and the interviewer focused on making sure I could handle a fast-paced, customer-facing environment.
I had one interview with the store manager and it lasted for about 45 minutes. The interview was all standard behavioral questions. I was offered the job on the spot.
It was friendly! The process with nice. Group interview. The interviewer was asking about past experience. 30 minutes roughly and very brief. Would recommend to others to try. They had several position openings. Make sure you know what you want.
