      Cashier Interview

      Aug 21, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Savannah, GA
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Staples (Savannah, GA) in Mar 2011

      Interview

      I was interviewed by all three managers separately. When doing the interviews, the assistant manager interviewed me first and kind of told me a bit about the interview process. It was a very laidback interview. That same day, I was interviewed by the general manager of the store (again, very laidback). On a later date, I was called back for an interview with the supervisor of the department I was applying to. This interview was more of a "let's make sure we fit well together on a social level" type interview (which I believe is a very good thing to do). After that, I was offered a job with the company and began training.

      Question 1

      It's been a good while since I was interviewed, but I believe they asked me about some of my professional and personal goals.
