I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Petco (Bridgeport, CT) in Sep 2011
Interview
I went in, answered some questions about pet care/why i want the job, and received the job, started the same day. the manager in charge at the time put me behind the register with no experience, which caused a lot of angry customers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What type of pets do you have (personal or experience with)
Straight forward and not difficult. It's just a standard retail interview, no curveballs, no trick questions. Just practice a little beforehand and it'll go smoothly. Make sure to ask questions of your own at the end.

Question 1
Do you have experience handling customers during a rush?
It was a basic sales job interview. Basically they want to know you are a hard worker and kind to animals. I don't think they really care as long as you are willing to work hard.
The interview process is very easy. They are not too picky, they just want to make sure that you will work and can comprehend the simple parts of the job. And that you are okay with small animals.
