I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Staples (Bolingbrook, IL) in Aug 2011
Interview
It was two interviews, the second one guaranteed your job. Wasn't difficult. Can only apply online. It started with a phone call, after that it was a one on one interview with just the associate manager, after that they tell you to wait. Once they call you back you go back for a second interview which is a few questions with the general manager and at that point you have secured your job.
