      Called me the day before to schedule an interview. Came in the next day for a screening interview. Asked the typical questions (name three positives about yourself, three negatives, why do you want the position). At the end of the interview, he said he would get back to me in a week for a second interview. I ended up having to call back but still never got to the second interview.

      Inventory Associate Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Salisbury, MD
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Staples (Salisbury, MD) in Jun 2010

      Interview

      I filled out an online application, which included a long test. About a week later I got a call back, asking me to come in for an interview. The first interview went alright, all things considered. The manager told me to call in about a week to schedule another appointment. I probably called about seven times total over the course of a few weeks to schedule one other interview. The manager was always either busy or not in. Finally after about a month of this and feeling like I was in the same place as I was after my first interview, I gave up and stopped calling.
