I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Staples (Flagstaff, AZ)
Interview
Walked in and had to search for the manager, associate just watched. Finally went in, searing jeggings, nice shirt, boots. Was given a description of the job, then asked if I would be up for it (promoting similar items, cleaning, pos). Said he would continue background check. Very informal and was immediately offered job. Was assistant manager, not general manager.
when i arrived there, the manager was very nice and welcoming and it went very smoothly,i arrived on time and i was early to the interview.He also asked me questions like my availability, my schooling, what made me interested in working with staples and what i hope to achieve in the long run
The interview was very informative and well conducted. The time spent was appropriate and the questions were consistent with my experience at other interviews. The person conducting the interview was professional
