      Tech Associate Interview

      Dec 30, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Toronto, ON
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Staples (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      Unfortunately I don't remember the names of the people I talked to but I remember most of the process. I had given my resume to one of the managers there and after about 2 weeks I got a call for an interview. It was fairly quick but very nerve racking. They asked a bunch of questions most about how I'd sell a computer, printer, and such. They asked what would you sell along the thing the customer needs. For example, if someone is looking for a printer you'd get them ink, paper, and if they want, warranty. I thought I did pretty bad because I was stuttering all my answers but I answered everything pretty well.
