I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Staples (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2015
Interview
The interview was easy, you come in and have a one on one with the manger and get asked questions like ( What do you know about this company? Whats your greatest weakness?)
Sit down meeting with a manager and team lead. Asked questions to verify if I knew anything about tech. Did not ask about sales experience. That was the most challenging part of the job for me.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Staples in Aug 2022
Interview
interview process is very simple and straightforward. They are making sure that you are comfortable approaching people. They also want to get to know you as a person and make sure that you are a good fit in the store.
