I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Staples in May 2022
Interview
Very easy interview just asked about basic customer service skills in person, talked to both GM and Tech manager. Went over responsibilities and how long the training was, the process and got a phone call asking when I would like to start
Quick and informative. I was introduced to what is expected in an average work day, what is expected of a successful employee, and employee benefits. I was also introduced to potential coworkers who share their experiences.
