I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Public Storage (Chamblee, GA) in Jul 2013
Interview
Interview process was fairly straight forward. After submitting an application I was given a phone interview about two weeks later for about 20 minutes, basically just to verify my work history and resume as well as explaining the duties of the job. Afterwards I was contacted by a district manager to set up an interview. The 2nd interview was conducted by two managers, and lasted about 30 minutes. They asked me many questions, mainly aimed at seeing if I was being honest about my work experience and also to get to know my personality. Despite being a lower paying manager job ($10/hr), it was a somewhat difficult interview and very thorough. I was put "on the spot" a few times, with some interview questions being open-ended such as what did I do to prepare for this interview, how I felt about work safety, and even what superpower would I pick if I could choose one (a question to gauge my personality I believe). I was made an offer after the interview, and told I would get the job after passing a drug screening at Concentra within 48 hours and after a background check had been conducted.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
After being asked my favorite and least favorite things about sales, I was then given a Public Storage lock and told to sell it to the manager interviewing me. I admit I was not expecting this. Since I was completely unfamiliar with the product, I took a deep breath before proceeding with my winged sales pitch.
Set up a virtual interview a week in advance. Once on the call, recruiter only asked one question pertaining to my location. Said I was too far (although my address is attached to my application and I was aware of what location I applied to) and that he would make a note to a recruiter closer to my area. I received an email the position was filled after and no update.
Very easy , show up on time , dressed nice and ready to communicate efficiently. It was a Microsoft teams interview so have good lighting , I used a ring light .

Question 1
My experience , past jobs, how I feel about walking around the property .
Very simple, no skills needed. Seem to really need employees. No drug test. Must be willing to travel, with paid mileage. They respond quickly and don’t make you wait a month like some employers. Nice process.
