I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Staples in Nov 2011
Interview
The interviewer was very polite and helpful in putting me at ease although I was very nervous despite having prepared myself for the interview ahead of time I wasn't prepared for the situation type questions so I was a bit frazzled by them unfortunately. I'd rate it as being somewhat difficult if you aren't prepared to answer those types of questions and have no prior experience in retail like myself. I didn't get the job, but went back into to speak with them and they have a different position that I might be better suited for so I'm in the process of interviewing for that soon and am hoping this interview will go better then my first with them since I felt so unprepared when I was asked some of the questions which didn't help my nerves during the interview. Just wish I would've found this site sooner since so many of the questions I was asked are posted on here.
