WHERE TO START? THE ON-LINE JOB APPLICATION

Many things have changed in recent years about getting a job, and now

companies and businesses are using online job applications instead of a

paper one. While it has streamlined the process a lot, it has also taken

away from the more personal satisfaction with seeing someone face to face.

While some of the procedures are the same, there are many other

differences.

A really big tip when filling out a job application is not to put “any” where

you are asked what position you are looking for.

If you are looking for a job online, companies will post what positions are

available, including corporate jobs, internships, and distribution, not just

their retail store positions. If you put “any,” they don’t have the time to

find a place for you and your application will be rejected right away.

Whatever you do, be honest when filling out an online application. A

potential employer can find out almost anything they want about you with

a simple internet search.

They can find out about any criminal record you may have, and even your

credit score. If you have a criminal record, you don’t have to go into great

detail, if they really want to hire you they will. Being honest right away

will get you a lot farther than lying.

While applications online makes it easier for people who tend to scribble

when they write, you still have to have the correct spelling, and make sure

you get the name of the company right!

Even if you are filling out many applications at a time, take your time and

make sure there are no mistakes, employers don’t tolerate poor spelling

and grammar.

Even if you are just getting started in the work force, you can still put

down work experience. If you ever had a good babysitting job, or mowed

the neighbor’s yard, you can use these people as not only an employment

reference but also as a personal reference. Parents make good personal

contacts as well.

Even though you are not seeing someone in person you still have to conduct

yourself in a professional manner. Be quick and to the point filling out

information from other jobs, and again, make sure that their contact

information is accurate.

HOW TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION: • It is important that you read the entire application form before you

start filling it out. Read the instructions carefully and follow them

exactly. Completing the application properly is very important,

because the application is your first chance to present your skills to

the employer.

• Employers review the information on job applications when deciding

who to schedule for job interviews. Remember that employers often

judge the appearance of an application as a clue to how much

importance you put on the quality of your work.

• Here are some helpful tips to follow when completing applications:

• Be honest in your answers.

• Have all the information on hand that you might need to fill out an

application, such as a fact sheet with the names and telephone

numbers of your references and past employers.

• Fill out the form neatly and accurately.

• Apply for a specific position, rather than entering "anything," or

"open" for the desired position.

• Leave no blanks.

• Write "Does Not Apply" (or "N/A" for Not Applicable) in the space if

the question does not apply to you.

• Explain lengthy gaps in your work history, for example, "attending

school."

• Read and check the application for completeness before turning it in

to the employer.

PERSONAL DATA Employment applications request a wide variety of personal information

ranging from your social security number for employment tax purposes to

questions about your personal hobbies and interests. The following list

provides examples of how to complete the most typical information

requested on job applications:

• In the name field, be sure to note in what order the employer wants

your first and last names. Print neatly. If you have previously applied

for a job with an employer, make sure that any name change on the

application is noted.

• Use an address where you can receive mail. You may also be asked

how long you've lived at your current address.

• Provide your telephone number with an area code. If you use a

message number, make sure that everyone at that number knows

what to say for you or that the message on a message machine is

appropriate. For a business number, include an extension number if

one is available.

• Be sure that you meet the health requirements for the job. If a

physical examination is a condition of employment, the employer

must pay for it and can only request it after you are hired.

• All applications ask for information about the schools you've attended.

Usually you will need to list the city and state where the school was

located and any degrees earned. List your education, detailing any

special courses. Be prepared to provide transcripts, if requested.

If you have any professional certification, licenses, or registrations, list

them. For example, you may be a licensed cosmetologist, dental hygienist,

or have a special class driver's license.

If possible, avoid entering birth dates or school graduation dates on an

application.

Some applications request information about prior misdemeanor or felony

convictions.

WORK DATA • Always fill in the space for the "Position Desired." Never write "any" or

"will do anything!" A vague answer makes it difficult for the employer

to visualize how your special skills will meet their company needs. It is

acceptable to list more than one position, but do some research first

so you know job titles used at the company.

• In the salary desired field write "open" or "negotiable" rather than

putting in a salary figure that might be too high or too low. The

employer will look at the salaries paid previously.

• In the availability field write "immediately," if you are available to

start right away. If you are currently employed, indicate that you are

available to start after giving two weeks’ notice. Giving two weeks’

notice makes it more likely that you will get a good reference from

the employer. Be knowledgeable about the hours required for the job.

New employees rarely have a choice about the hours and shift

available.

JOB EXPERIENCE Under work experience, the application form usually asks for your job title

and dates of employment; the name, address, and phone number of the

employer; and a description of your duties. Some applications also ask for

your salary and your supervisor's name. Include part‐time and full‐time

jobs. Make sure that the dates of employment don't overlap or conflict.

If asked for the reason you left a job, use positive phrases like: "to take a

job with more responsibility," "moved," "seasonal," "business closed," "job or

contract ended," "temporary work," " laid off," " reorganization," "returned

to school," " or "career change." Avoid negative words like "fired," "quit,"

"absenteeism," or "tardiness."

List any special skills, abilities, experience and/or training that relate to the

position you want. If you were in the military service, emphasize the duties

you performed that relate to the job for which are applying. Have all

appropriate forms available, such as certificates.

Always talk to your references before beginning your work search, to ask

permission to use their names, addresses, and phone numbers on your

application(s). Former employers, business acquaintances, teachers, and the

clergy are all acceptable references. Be sure to keep your reference list

updated and let them know when you find a job.

MISTAKES TO AVOID Some of the most common mistakes that job seekers make on applications

are:

• Not following directions

• Misspelled words

• Incomplete information or unanswered questions

• Not applying for a specific position

• Incomplete work history, or large unexplained gaps in work history

• Overlapping or conflicting employment dates with no explanation

• Application not turned in by the deadline

• Use of troublesome words, such as "quit" or "fired"

FILLING OUT ONLINE APPLICATIONS http://careers.staples.com/

Right now, I’m going to take you through the basic Staples hourly

employment application. The application is set up to gather all the

information necessary about your work interests, experience and

qualifications for jobs available at Staples stores.

You will need: • Social Security Number • Driver’s License Number and Expiration Date • Employment History • Personal References • Professional References The good thing about the Staples online application is that Staples store

managers within a 50 mile radius can look at your application to see if you

qualify for a job opening they might have.

So, you only have to fill out one application for multiple job opportunities.

The application is held on file, so be sure not to bother filling out a second

one if it has been less than six months. It will simply fall to the bottom of

the pile anyway.

information and employment history. It is really helpful to have all of this

gathered ahead of time.

application and waited for a call. I received one from the assistant

manager in charge of hiring asking if I could come in for an interview

which I did. I arrived on time and waited about 20 minutes. She was nice

and friendly apologized for the wait and the interview began. It wasn't

much of an interview she asked basic questions such as "tell me about

yourself, why do you want to work at staples"?, why were you unemployed

for a few months'? After that she told me all about staples and the

position talked about pay which was $7.35 since I had a little experience. I

got the job easy and it was an enjoyable place to work. The tests were

given after I got the job and was doing orientation. If you missed one you

like "what would you do if you saw a customer stealing?". That kind of

thing. ------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at Staples - Accepted Offer – Jun 5, 2013 Interview Details –It was one interview with the GM of the location I

applied to. Very basic questions, tell me about you, what experience, why

JOBSITE: http://walmartstores.com/Careers/7745.aspx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photo Center Technician at Wal-Mart Stores - Accepted Offer – Jul 15, 2013 Interview Details –When applying to the Wal-Mart Stores, I recommend

following up with phone calls to check on your application and to show

them you're interested. I'm assuming a lot of people already apply to work

at Wal-Mart so it also doesn't when it comes to an applicant reaching out

to them. The interview I went through was behavior based. All the

questions were related to "a time when." So be prepared to showcase

circumstances or times you showed leadership, conflict resolution, multi-

tasking, supervisor relationship, etc.

Interview Question –For me that is the supervisor relationship question,

like the boss is wrong and you're right, how did you handle that situation.

Mostly difficult because I don't really run into trouble or circumstances like

that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sales Associate at Wal-Mart Stores - Accepted Offer – Jul 15, 2013 Interview Details –Take a common sense test. If you happen to be called

back, you see the standard interview questions that ask you to provide

examples of certain situations and how you reacted in said situations. Drug

screening afterwards.

Interview Question –None. They were 100% common sense to the common

working man/woman. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Any Positions at Wal-Mart Stores - Accepted Offer– Jul 12, 2013 Interview Details –Managers look through applicants that are both internal

and external as well as transfer associates. Through these they look at

experience as well as previous jobs. If you have experience in a specific area

put this on your application. If called for an interview you will be interview

by the Department Lead first. Answer questions with as much information

as possible, to little information you will not pass the first step. If you pass

the first step you then go to a 3 panel interview. To save time some stores

only use the Assistant Manager for the interview. You will get the same

basic set of questions just worded differently. Again use as much

information as possible and be detailed.

Interview Question –Most questions ask about specific situations, like

customer complaints, problem with a rule. It can be complicated because

the wording that is used depends on how they read them. The more

detailed the better. --------------------------------------------------------------------

Area Manager at Wal-Mart Stores - Accepted Offer– Jul 11, 2013 Interview Details –Arrived at DC, met with 2 Ops managers, both were

very cool and laid back. They both ask you questions. After them, you have

one with the General Manager, AGM, and Human Resource Manager, all in

the same room. Same questions pretty much. Everyone was cool and jolly.

• Tell me about yourself

• Why do you want to work for Wal-Mart?

• Tell me about a time that you participated in a team, what was your

role?

• Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a co-worker who

wasn't doing his/her fair share of the work. What did you do and

what was the outcome?

• Give me an example of a time when you took the time to share a co-

worker's or supervisor's achievements with other?

• Tell me about a time that you didn't work well with a supervisor.

What was the outcome and how would you have changed the

outcome?

• Have you worked with someone you didn't like? If so, how did you

handle it?

• Tell me about a time that you helped someone.

• Tell me about a time that you misjudged a person.

• How do you get along with older (younger) co-workers?

• Under which situation you need to motivate other members?

Interview Question –Tell me about yourself. It sets the stage for the rest of

the interview

Negotiation Details –Just starting out its $45000, I'm content with that.

You'll also get free stocks given to you after a year and you'll get a yearly

bonus also. Bonus is around $5000, and stocks are $8000 (you can't cash

in the stock until 5 years later though)

Cashier at Wal-Mart Stores - Accepted Offer – Apr 19, 2013 Interview Details –I had to attend 2 interview sessions one with the

assistant manager and one with the store manager. The one with the

assistant manager was fairly standard stuff getting information on my

availability and such. They wanted to know about my past retail and

customer service experience. Mine was a little scare so I had to take from

my marching band days as well as examples. The second with the store

manager was a bit intimidating but he was easy going enough he just

showed me what I was gonna get paid ($7.80/hr).

Interview Question –They wanted to know how I handled being part of a

team. But since my retail experience didn't really give me that I had to

take from my high school marching band. -------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------- USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…

Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer – Jul 8, 2013 Interview Details –I am going to post this in as much detail as possible, but

it's really just summing up what a lot of other people have said.

APPLYING I applied online on June 24th for a few different positions, basically

whatever they had open. I got a call about a week later to set up a phone

interview with a Team Leader. INTERVIEW ROUND 1 I had my phone interview with the Team Leader a few days later. It was

more of a "get-to-know-you" than anything else. Questions were:

• Why Target?

• Tell me about a time you had to work in a team.

• Tell me about a time when you had multiple projects due at the same

time.

I passed the phone interview and scheduled an in-person interview for the

beginning of the next week. INTERVIEW ROUND 2 I arrived about 5 minutes early and took a very, very simple

personality/math test. If you got through all of the application, you should

have absolutely no trouble with this.

Then, I was shown to the employee area for an interview. After being

directed to wait in the break room for a little bit, an Executive Team

Leader took me to their office and interviewed me.

IN ADDITION TO THE QUESTIONS ABOVE, I WAS ALSO ASKED A LOT OF STAR QUESTIONS, INCLUDING:

• A woman is looking for a shoe for her son, but the right size isn't on

the shelf. What would you do?

• You're ringing up a customer and an item rings up at $19.99 but the

customer swears the price was $18.99, what would you do?

After that, I was taken to wait in the break room once again. This time, a

person from HR came to get me, took me to their office and offered me

the job - conditional on passing a drug test at a lab and a background

check. (IMPORTANT: The drug test has to be done within 24 hours, so plan accordingly!) Signed the paperwork and I was hired!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer – Jul 8, 2013 Interview Details –It was overall very typical but very friendly. They ask

about your previous jobs, school, goals, etc. They also will give you three

scenarios they want you to answer/talk about. I remember one question

they asked was "when was the last time you received amazing service and

what made it amazing?"

Interview Question –None of them were difficult, just be honest and keep

your cool. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer – Jul 6, 2013 Interview Details –I applied in store and waited about two days before I

called to check my application status. They transferred me to the HR lady

and she scheduled for an interview while we were on the phone. I went it

and met with someone (who was from a different store because the

woman from this store was out for the day). Two interviews with two

different women; expected/typical questions. Didn't hear anything for two

weeks, then I got a call while I was in class saying come in because they

wanted to offer me a position. Went in that day, discussed pay, and had to

take a drug test within 24 hrs. Started work the next week. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer– Jun 22, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online within a week got called in for an

interview. Met with a GM who asked basic questions. Like: Tell us a time

when you were working with someone difficult and how you handled it.

With their questions they are looking for a problem a solution and then the

outcome. Be detailed. They score you on each answer. They are always

looking for Starbucks workers so if you say you are willing to train in that

area or have experience then you'll most likely get it.

Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer – May 21, 2013 Interview Details –I completed the online application and within a few (2-

3) days. The interview was amazing - it was so laid back and more of a

conversation than a formal interview. They do an excellent job of making

sure you are comfortable

Interview Question –Review and plan for all the questions on here - they

use the exact same ones.

• What is your biggest weakness/strength?

• When have you gone out of your way to help somebody.

• Why do you want to work at target?

• What would you do if you rang an item up to be 20$ but a customer

insisted it was 18?

• Name a time when you made a mistake and how did you handle it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COSTCO APPLICATION ONLINE James Sinegal and Jeffery Brotman opened the first Costco Warehouse in

1983. Located in Seattle Washington, the pair had come from a long line

of wholesale and retail. Sinegal had worked in wholesale for both FedMart

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…

Stocker at Costco Wholesale - Accepted Offer – Feb 8, 2013 Interview Details –It is a 3 part interview process which they do in two

sessions. They ask you questions such as “why do you think you are qualified

to work here?” and “what projects have you done that could help you out

for the company in the future?”

They give you a drug test via mouth swab which they find out the results

ASAP. Then they do a back- a-round check which takes about a week to

process. Interview Question –

• Why do you think you are qualified to work here?

• What projects have you done that could help you out for the company

in the future? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Produce Stocker at Costco Wholesale - Accepted Offer – Jul 8, 2013 Interview Details –Submit an application online, later talk to local

management and get an interview setup, wear professional attire and be

open about customer service. A second interview will be conducted by the

manager of the department you are likely to work in. This interview will be

essentially the same as the first. Orientation will take place and training

will begin within a few days. Interview Question –

• What are the 6 rights of merchandising and how do they apply to

Costco? - These can be found in the Costco employee handbook.

Negotiation Details –Offered a position in morning Merch which I turned

down, then they offered a position on the front end, same pay, this one I

accepted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Food Service Assistant at Costco Wholesale - Accepted Offer – Jun 28 Interview Details –The hiring process was fast and efficient. I applied for

Costco end of May and they called me in June for an interview. They called

me in for a "third" interview the next day. So in reality I only had to be

interviewed twice.

There are two managers who interview you.

They will both ask you questions for a total of 14 questions.

It's important that you maintain focus on the person asking you the

questions. One of the managers will try and distract you and sometimes

their walkies will go off, but continue to stay focused on the interview.

I skipped the second interview because the managers felt comfortable with

me. Just be yourself and you should be fine. Humor is important as well. I

was able to make them smile and laugh.

The third interview is just a detailed description of the job duties and what

to expect and they will ask you if you accept the job. I took the drug test

that day and signed papers. This process took only 2 days.

Interview Question –There was no difficult or unexpected question because I

went in prepared and practiced most of the answers at home. The

questions are pretty much all listed on this website. Also if you know

nothing about Costco, be sure to do your homework on it before the first

interview.

Cashier Assistant (Front End Assistant) at Costco Wholesale - Accepted Offer – Jun 17 Interview Details –Applied to Costco last April and it took them 1 month

to call me back for an interview. Once they called me they scheduled me

for an interview the next day and when I arrived I was sent to the break

room to wait for the two supervisors. The interview went well, it was

basically situational questions and how I would react. Then they said they

would call me within a week, however i never received a call so I called

them back a week and a half later and they explained how I was supposed

to get an interview 2 days after my first, but the manager was too busy so

they scheduled me for the second interview the day after.

My next interview was before Costco opened so I had to go through the

side and once I was there I met with 3 individuals one who was the general

manager.

This interview was really easy, they just want to get a feel for who you are

and if you're fit for the job or not. Then they said I got the job and did the

drug/alcohol test on the spot. Interview Questions

• Why should we hire you?

Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's - Accepted Offer– Jul 1, 2013 Interview Details –I had only one interview and it was a group interview.

We each went around and answered the same question, each time starting

with a different person. The questions were very predictable. I was called

back less than a week later and received an offer.

Interview Question –No question was difficult or unexpected. Pretty basic-

Is the customer always right! -------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's - Accepted Offer – Jun 30, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online. Got a call to setup an interview two

weeks later. The interview was simple. Just a one on one. Other people say

they had a group interview but that isn't always the case. So easy!

Interview Question –None. It was simple. Few situational questions and why

you want to work there.

Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's - Accepted Offer– Jun 21, 2013 Interview Details –I applied to kohl's on snag a job, I was called in for an

interview about a week later. The interview was fairly straightforward,

most of the questions were " tell me about a time when..." and I was hired

on the spot, but had to wait a couple of days while they do a background

check.

Interview Question –All the questions were What you would expect of a

retail interview. --------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's - Accepted Offer – Jun 19, 2013 Interview Details –It was a group interview, asked if you were okay with

pushing credit cards, how would you help a customer with a question you

weren't sure of, a time you have been late for an appointment and how

you handled it, how would you react to having to change your duty

quickly?

Interview Question –Nothing was unexpected

• Describe a time where you have went beyond the expectations for a

customer.

• Describe a time where you have had to sell a certain item for a

company you worked for.

• What was it and how well did it go?

• Why do you think Kohl's offers Kohl's credit cards?

• What does it do for the company and for the customer? --------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate/Cashier at Kohl's - Accepted Offer– Apr 4, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online at snagajob.com and within a few days was called for a interview. It was a group interview with about 10-12 of us. We sat in a circle and one of the managers and the secretary asked us about six questions and we went around the circle one by one answering the questions. Some of the questions included: 1. Tell me your name.

A: Give your name and a very brief history of work experience/ why Kohl's

interest you/ at least one strength you have that relates to the job (ex: I

enjoy giving customers a rewarding shopping experience or I love solving a

customers, or persons, problem so they are completely satisfied). Make sure

to keep the answer brief though. 2. Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer. A: I did not have experience in retail (first job) but I did explain how I went

above and beyond for the people I volunteered for. Not having experience is

alright as long as you give compelling answers that relate to the job. 3. What does good team work mean? A: Explain the positive attributes that make a good team (great

communication, positive attitudes, willing to work with one another to

accomplish a common goal for the customer, building one another up). 4. What if you had to help a customer but they were out of your department? A: Explain that you would do the best you could, however, you may need

to consult someone from the department to help. Make sure you say that

you would do whatever necessary to make the customer extremely satisfied

(extremely satisfied is their tagline so they would probably love it if you

mentioned that).

The interview was around twenty minutes and we were informed that

they would call us within the next few hours to see if they wanted us for a

second interview. I was called back soon and came for a second interview. I

met with the head manager and the manager that was there for the first

interview. I was asked four questions, one of the questions included: 1. How do you feel selling a Kohl's credit card? A: My answer was that I loved giving customers something would add value

to their lives. Explain why you think the card is beneficial to customers

and that you are determined to sell that card

(TIP: IF HIRED, YOUR JOB *IS* TO SELL THE KOHL'S CARD AND COLLECT EMAILS, THEY DO VALUE CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT SELLING THE CARD AND EMAILS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT). Note: This was not so much an interview as it was me being told more

information about the company and being told you are hired. I would

make sure to do research on the company, the card and good answers to

interview questions, though I worked the holiday season and they almost

hired anyone really good interview answers make you stand out and

become an instant hit among the managers. Interview Question – What if you had to help a customer but they were out of your

department? ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales Associate at J. C. Penney - Accepted Offer – May 24, 2013

Interview Details –I had put in an application online and was called for an

interview not too long after. I went in on a one-on-one interview and was

hired in about 15 minutes.

The manager didn't even ask me any questions besides why I would like to

work at JCPenney. She talk to me more about the company. She seem she

had it made up in her mind before I came in that I was hired.

I'm happy to be hired so easily but I had practiced all the answers to

questions I might be asked and the fact that I wasn't asked anything made

it seem like they were desperately looking for someone, although their

well-staffed. I would have felt better if I was hired because I answered

questions correctly. I guess I got hired because of my experience and I was

friendly and well-dressed.

The manager told me specifically they were looking for happy people. I

have to say when I was waiting to be interviewed in the waiting room the

workers there were friendly and asked if I've been helped, so I felt a

warmth there that I never felt at Macy's.

Interview Question – Why J.C.Penney's?

since I just needed a part-time job and not looking to stay with the

company forever, I accepted. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at J. C. Penney - Accepted Offer – May 6, 2013 Interview Details –It took forever to meet with the manager. Left me alone

you really gotta make yourself known for something so were something

really really nice like a suit. Interview Question –

hours. The interview was set up for the very next day, and lasted only

thirty minutes. Very basic questions, what you would expect. It was strange

interview. I was offered the job on the spot and started two weeks later. Interview Question –

• Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at J. C. Penney - Accepted Offer – Jan 31, 2013 Interview Details –Firstly, I put up the application online and took the

questionaire which is about 50. After 3 days, I gave them a call just to

would review qualified apps and call for interview. I was contacted the next

Nordstrom Application Online

Nordstrom application online- The original Nordstrom

store opened its doors in 1901 as Wallin and

Nordstrom, by founders Carl F Wallin and John W

Nordstrom. Nordstrom had been looking for a new

business venture, after his recent good fortune, and

settled on a shoe store.

His cofounder Wallin, owned the adjacent shoe repair

shop. It took twenty-two years before a second store

was opened, and by this time Nordstrom’s second son,

Elmer, was able to run the store. A few years later

John Nordstrom retired from the business selling his

shares to his two eldest sons; Wallin retired shortly after also selling his

shares to the boys. The boys continued selling shoes for an additional 35

years when they added the Best Apparel of Seattle Company which is

when the store changed to Nordstrom Best.

Nordstrom Application- Today Nordstrom operates 116 Nordstrom stores

and 95 Nordstrom Rack stores.

Job openings at Nordstrom: At Nordstrom you’ll find a lot of things to do.

If you are good at sales you might consider becoming one of their

commissioned sales people http://about.nordstrom.com/careers/

Nordstrom careers: http://about.nordstrom.com/careers/ You’ll work with Nordstrom’s customers to help them find the right piece.

Remember it’s all about the sales, since you will work on commission but

there is no reason to be pushy or rude.

The best sales people sale the customer without them even realizing it.

If you’re not great at sales, don’t worry you don’t have to be the hard

seller. Nordstrom locations also are in need of tailors to assist with

alterations, merchants to help make sure that the latest trends are

available, and even support staff. If you do hair that doesn’t mean you

can’t find a place here.

Several Nordstrom locations have the Nordstrom Spa to help their clientele

feel even more beautiful. Many of their locations also have a restaurant and

they are in need of helpful wait staff, cooks, and other restaurant positions.

Remember, with all things in life, you MUST take action! You MUST stay

persistent in order to accomplish your goals in finding work.

It's all about taking advantage of all your resource, and today you have the

internet on your side! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…

Sales Associate at Nordstrom - Accepted Offer– Jul 7, 2013 Interview Details –There is a 3-step process. First, there is phone interview

with the HR manager or assistant. Then you'll be invited in for a 2 part

second interview with the HR manager and the department manager.

Once you pass these two, you will be called back for a final interview with

the store manager. During the interview with the department manager,

you will be asked to demonstrate your selling abilities by choosing a

product and "selling" it to the manager. This is a major part of the

interview.

Interview Question –I wasn't expecting to have to sell to the manager. I

had to pull items and explain why I did and why the customer would need

them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at Nordstrom - Accepted Offer – Jul 7, 2013 Interview Details –I felt like I had the job just by applying. Nordstrom loves

to hire within the Nordstrom family, and I'd worked part time at the

Espresso Bar at a different store for two years before moving to a different

city.

I applied online at about 1AM, and received a phone call at 10AM the

following morning. And the HR rep that phone "interviewed" me, basically

just seemed to be making sure that I wasn't a crazy person. I was

interviewed in person a couple days later, and again, it seemed to be just a

formality and that going through all the official questions and role playing

was more to evaluate my level of starting competence, and that I was

already hired. At the end of the interview, I was immediately hired and

asked to start as soon as possible. Since I'd had a vacation planned I would

miss the new employee orientation, but my boss said she'd have HR waive

the requirement for me. Basically, I got the job just by having had a good

reputation with Nordstrom previously. They actually seemed pretty

desperate for new employees, which I found out later was due to my

manager's control freak ways. I don't mind it though, and it all turned out

nicely for me. Quick and easy!!!

Interview Question –I was asked to role play selling to a customer (my

boss) who was looking for a date night outfit.

Negotiation Details –My schedule was super complicated. I was finishing my

last semester of school, still had a week to go on a summer internship, and

was planning a vacation for the week after. I also said I would need the

week before Christmas off. (In retail, that is usually not even an option.) I

originally wanted around 20 hours a week, and 25 at the most for the big

holiday weeks. She talked me up to 25 hours and 30 hours maximum, but

did allow me my vacation times. But in reality, once I did start working

that 25 hours crept up to 30, and the 3o hour maximum from before

ended up at around 36 scheduled hours. Then I got pressured to stay late

a lot. So basically, the big negotiation about my hours was entire ignored

for my first few months. Eventually, I had to threaten to quit entirely

reducing my hours and keeping my Xmas vacation. --------------------------------------------------------------- Retail Sales Associate at Nordstrom - Accepted Offer – Jul 15, 2013 New Interview Details –I filled out the application online for multiple part time

openings. I then received a phone call the following day from the HR

manager. I happened to be in an interview at the time at Nordstrom Rack,

but the voicemail was very nice and she explained how excited she was to

talk to me and set up an interview. I returned her call thinking it would be

short and just scheduling an interview...turned out to be a phone interview.

Nothing to stress, it was probably 5 questions such as tell me about

yourself, your work experience, why do you want to work at Nordstrom’s,

etc. It helped that I had just come from an interview at the rack because

they both asked me the exact same questions for that phone interview/in

person interview.

Everyone at Nordstrom's is very nice and they really make you feel

comfortable and at ease during the interview whether the rack or full line

store. I was interviewed by three different people and they were all down

to earth and very nice doing anything they could to make me less nervous

about being interviewed which was amazing since other employers can

really take advantage of the already stressful process. They read from a

paper and have to write it down which I was surprised about but it also

helped since it gives you some time to think/more relaxed than being

drilled with questions. There were a lot of "how would you" situational

questions such as "if you were organizing a rack of clothing and a customer

needed help, what would you do?" well of course help the customer since

that is their #1 mission...even if they can tell you are nervous/not sure how

to answer and mess up a little bit they respond with positive feedback.

At both the rack and the full line store all my answers were responded

with a "perfect" or "great".

Overall the interview took less than 20 minutes even though they say plan

for an hour. It ended with her explaining they are conducting more

interviews but she will call me either way on Friday (2 days after my

interview) about their decision. She called like she said she would and

offered me the position.

Interview Question –I wouldn't say any of them were too difficult as long

as you can think of examples for the situational questions. Examples of

questions were

• What do you know about Nordstrom?

• Why do you want to work here?

• Explain a time you went above and beyond for a customer.

• Explain a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer, how

did you handle it?

• What do you think is great customer service and how would you

supply it?

• How do you prioritize?

• How do you feel about this job being commission based?

• Have you ever been in a job that is commission based? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Retail Sales Associate at Nordstrom - Accepted Offer – Jun 14, 2013 Interview Details –Submitted resume online. A few days later I was called

by a man in human resources and asked questions on the phone. He then

invited me to an interview in the store. He asked me basic customer service

questions ("What would you do with a customer who...."), and at the end

invited me back for an interview the next day with the manager of the

department I was applying for.

We met the next day, and it seemed to help that she recognized me from

shopping in the store. She asked me some of my favorite brands, and a few

questions about customer service. She then took me out to the floor and

did a mock shopping trip, where she acted as a customer and I had to help

her shop for a "trip to Vegas". She called the next day and offered me the

position! Overall stress free, and everyone was very nice. Interview Question – Name a time where you had to provide a customer with exceptional

service?

Seasonal Cashier at Nordstrom - Accepted Offer– Jun 2, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online, received an offer for a phone interview a

few days later (even though I did not receive one for several other positions

I applied for). Scheduled the phone interview for a few days later, which

was quick and mostly behavior/personality questions. It lasted about 10

minutes, and at the end they asked me to come in for an in-person

interview. I was called the next day and scheduled the in-person interview

for a week later. Had an in-person interview with the HR manager (same

person as the phone interview) and was asked basically the same questions.

Then directly after I met with the department manager and assistant

manager, with very similar questions. I was offered the position 2 days

later.

Interview Question –When is a time that you went above and beyond what

was expected of you? =====================================================

Cook at KFC - Accepted Offer – Jul 7, 2013 Interview Details –The hiring process was different in my area, but that

could be because our stores are owned by the Harmon Company. From

what I understand, the Harmon Company is the only company to do this

(meaning other KFC's) type of hiring. During the first interview, I was

talked to by the hiring manager.

Once that was over, like any other interview, I was called in for a second.

The second interview, however, was recorded on a tape recorded. Same

lady interviewed me, same questions, but the answers would be listened to

by somebody hire up. From what Orientation told me, there are right ways

and wrong ways to answer those questions. They are looking for a specific

type of employee and based of those answer, you are either that type of

person or not. Again, this is only with the KFC I work at. Not sure if the

other ones record the second interview as well.

Interview Question –When they asked me if I ever used my

feelings/emotions to take advantage of a situation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team Member at KFC - Accepted Offer – Apr 9, 2013 Interview Details –They ask you questions. They are not very hard, just the

basic questions you would accept. The interview is not hard at all. However,

the manager told me that they only hire people who smile during the

interview. So just smile like the world is a happy place.

Interview Question –There is no hard question. -------------------------------------------------------------- Team Member at KFC - Accepted Offer – Apr 7, 2013 Interview Details –Open interviews every Saturday. Just walk in and get

an interview. After my first interview, I did not get a call back until 6

months later which then I was interviewed again. This time with a tape

recorder. Got called a week later saying I got the job.

Interview Question –I can't remember the questions exactly but a lot of

them were situational questions! -------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at KFC - Accepted Offer – Mar 8, 2013 Interview Details –Interview was short no real personal questions. Did not

ask why I wanted to work. No real personal connection to anything. There

was also so much going on once hired no one was actually doing hands on

training to teach how to do things by code. I got a book and was told that

it would teach me everything that i needed to know.

Interview Question –I was not really asked any questions besides how I

found out about the job. ----------------------------------------------------------------

Cashier at KFC - Accepted Offer – Dec 9, 2012 Interview Details –If your application or resume is chosen you will be called

in for an interview with either the manager or the co-manager. The

interview consists of a series of basic questions about yourself and your

personality and customer skills. If the person interviewing you likes your

answer you will then be hired.

Interview Question –All the questions were typical interview questions.

Nothing difficult or unexpected.

offerings, as well as American foods

city of Lake Forest, California. Their

primary rival is Taco Bell.

Originally named Casa Del Taco

(House of the Taco), the first Del

Taco restaurant was founded in

Yermo, California in 1964 by Ed

Hackbarth. On the restaurant’s first

official day of business, Del Taco

made $169.

In 1964, Hackbarth partnered with real estate broker David Jameson.

Success of the first restaurant led to three in Barstow and a fourth

restaurant in Corona (the first Del Taco with a drive-thru window). Dick

Naugle, who installed the kitchen equipment in the Corona store, was

impressed by the design and joined Hackbarth and Jameson in the

fledgling business.

In 1966, the trio founded Red-E-Food Systems, Inc. with the idea of

franchising the Casa Del Taco brand. That same year, the original Del Taco

sun logo was created and in 1967, Del Taco introduced their famous bean

and cheese burrito with green or red sauce to their menu.

Before long, the restaurants were being founded throughout Southern

California. http://deltaco.com/page42.html LOCATION(S): http://www.deltaco.com/locations.html

Arby’s Job Application Online Arby's job application- Arby's was

founded in Ohio in 1964 by Forrest

and Leroy Raffel, who believed there

was a market opportunity for a fast

food franchise based on a food other

than hamburgers.

The brothers wanted to call their

restaurants "Big Tex," but that name

was being used by an Akron business.

Instead, they chose the name "Arby's,"

based on R.B., the initials of Raffel

Brothers (and the initials for "Roast

Beef").

In 1993 Arby's was acquired by Triarc companies. This resulted in further

changes with the market fresh lineup being introduced in 2001 that

included deli style sandwiches and salads. A further expansion of the line

occurred with wraps introduced in 2003. This was further expanded in

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…

Crew Member at Arby's - Accepted Offer – May 26, 2013 Interview Details –I submitted a paper application in person. The Store

Manager was there when I turned it in and they made an interview date

right then. The interview was easy, no real tough questions were asked. The

store manager (the interviewer) recognized that I had no prior experience

in any job so instead of asking me situation-based questions they asked

about my personality and my volunteer experience. I'd like to think I got

the job on my own merit but it's important to note that at that time they

needed new hires quickly because they had just fired a number of

employees. The manager told me I got the job and asked me when I'd be

ready to start, which was basically after I got myself some black pants and

non-slip shoes. That day they scheduled my training for the following

week. Interview Question –

• Why Arby's and not another fast food restaurant? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Crew at Arby's - Accepted Offer – May 24, 2013 Interview Details –I was called in for an interview by the assistant

manager. I was asked general questions about me, why I wanted to work

for the company. Overall I felt like the interview went well. I went home

and a few hours later the assistant manager called to schedule a second

interview with the general manager for the following week. I went in and

gave it my all, I was asked the same questions but I felt more challenged.

He asked me questions I hadn't thought of. This was one of the best

interviews I had Interview Question –

• Where do you see yourself in 5 years? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Arby's - Accepted Offer – Mar 3, 2013 Interview Details –I handed in my application and had an interview on the

spot. It was about 20 minutes long. The general manager said he normally

doesn't do this but I seem like a nice girl and I hold myself very poised,

then offered me a job. The General Manager was very nice and considerate.

Interview Question –Describing what I like to do in my free time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at Arby's - Accepted Offer – Jan 7, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online for a sales associate and within a week I

received a call back. The interview was very quick and easy. Most of the

questions were centered on being able to count money and if you have any

thing going on which requires you to be on time. I was offered the job right

after they interview ended. Good starter job, but would not recommend if

you plan on being there for more than a year.

Interview Question –No difficult questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Server/Greeter at Arby's - Accepted Offer – Nov 17, 2012 Interview Details –I responded to a "Help Wanted" flier posted on the door

of an Arby's restaurant and asked one of the employees for an application.

After filling out the application and returning it to the manager in a

prompt manner, I received a call for an interview. The interview took place

at the restaurant and focused mostly on my previous work history. It was

a very short, standard, low pressure interview. A day or two later, I

received a call from the manager offering me a position.

Interview Question –The most difficult questions centered on what I would

do in the case of a difficult customer or my comfort level in preparing

sandwiches in a prompt manner. I believe there was also a question about

what I would consider to be my greatest strengths and weaknesses. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Backline Closer at Arby's - Accepted Offer – Jul 17, 2012 Interview Details –They called me in and just gave me the job, I’m thinking

because they were desperate. Which in my opinion is a terrible way to hire?

Because of this I worked with many annoying people. The store manager

was cold and had no personality, when I had asked about healthcare

and/or sick time, she was rude.

As if I was asking for something that would never be deserved, she said

you’re not going to be full time...two weeks later I was working six days a

week for a whopping 36 hrs.

Interview Question –The applications have a personality test, very

irritating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fast Food Worker at Arby's - Accepted Offer – May 14, 2012 Interview Details –When I first applied for the job, I was required to fill out

an application form like most other applications including my phone

number so they could contact me if they wanted to give an interview.

About 1 week later, they called my phone and asked me if I would be able

to come in for an interview the next day and I said yes. Basic questions

were asked including repeat questions from the application form as well as

new questions involving computer skills and other things. I recommend dressing up for the interview as well. If you are competing with other high school students looking for part time employment, then it can only help to get all the advantage that's possible.

Jack in the Box Job Application Online In 1951, a businessman named Robert Peterson opened the first Jack in

the Box restaurant in San Diego on the main east-west thoroughfare

• Do you have cashier experience?

• Do you like working with people?

• Can you cook? Interview Question –

Can you cook? For me it was unexpected, because since it was my first job, I had no idea

I'd have to cook occasionally. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Team Member at Jack in the Box - Accepted Offer – May 11, 2013 Interview Details –I had a 1:1 interview, it took about 10 minutes, and it

was pretty simple. I received a call back to be interviewed by the district

• Why do you want to work here?

• What can Jack in the Box do for you?

• What times are you available?

Just be yourself, don't try to memorize what you are going to say. They

want someone who can say what is in the heart not on the mind.

Interview Question –Why should I hire you for this company? I tried

memorizing this question before I went for the interview and then I choked

up midway through my explanation. Just be yourself don't memorize your

answers, it never works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cashier at Jack in the Box - Accepted Offer– Apr 21, 2013 Interview Details –I went in and applied then and there. Was asked why I

wanted to work there. What are my strengths and weaknesses? I had to

give an example of a time where i had to bring my leadership skills out.

Also given a scenario and what i would do when stuck in the situation ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Member at Jack in the Box - Accepted Offer – Mar 13, 2012 Interview Details –Turned in my application, got a call back a few days

later notifying me that I was going to get an interview as soon as they got

to this day.

Subway Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – Jul 15, 2013 New Interview Details –A fast food joint like subway doesn't have the most

stringent of hiring policies but there are hoops and it takes some skill and

timing to jump through. The story of my hiring begins with an associate

from high school that I just happen to re-meet when he was working at

the store that happen to be hiring. I walk in say. "Hey I'd like a sandwich

and didn't I go to school with you?" He says, "Yeah! How are you doing,

John (for these purposes my name is John)!" I say, "Never better uh you!"

The rest was him saying to his manager he knew me, me getting an

interview after filling out an application with my lack luster work history,

and me being myself( i.e. a slightly more charismatic, friendly nerd than

similar non charismatic nerds)

Interview Question –None. There were no difficult or unexpected questions

because I had been looking for work for a long time and had interviews

with all sorts of employers and they all pull from the same bucket. You get

used to answering the same questions and preparing different answers for

failed interviews. The most annoying parts of interviews, however, are

when they say they can't use you because of your inconstant schedule.

Subway didn't have a problem with this so here I am. PS To make it more

clearly the 'difficult' question was my availability. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer– Jul 5, 2013 Interview Details –Got called early at 6 in the morning, asking if I could

come around 9.I came in, was about 5 other people and then me in total.

Did interview, just asked standard questions. Said if I passed, he'll call me

later. Got a call that same day around 1:30 asking me to come in at 3:00.

I come in, and was offered a job. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – Jul 1, 2013 Interview Details –The lady I met with to interview me was interviewing

me for another person. I thought that it was a little odd that someone was

interviewing me for someone else. She seemed to really like me, so she sent

me to have a second interview with the lady that she was hiring me for.

She liked me too, and I got hired. I didn't get to work until about a month

later though. Interview Question –

• What was my biggest accomplishment in the work place? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – Jun 30, 2013 Interview Details –I applied online and was contacted a week later. While

waiting for the interview, they make you fill out another application which

has math questions and formulas for the food preparation. I was

interviewed and asked common questions. Left and was called a week later

for a second interview (to establish training and what Subway is like). Interview Question –

• What do you expect when you walk into a restaurant?

• What does down time mean and what should you do during it?

• What do you do when you are stressed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – Jun 13, 2013 Interview Details –I applied online, and got a call about a week later asking

me to come in for an interview at the headquarters in South San

Francisco. This was my first job, so I didn't really know what to expect.

I wore something pretty casual: black pants, white button-up and a gray

cardigan with black flats.

It was pretty standard and laid back. She asked me about my weaknesses

and what I'd do in certain situations. It was mostly getting to know me.

She also asked if I was comfortable with working in a fast-paced

environment. She was basically asking me yes or no questions towards the

end of the interview.

By the time it was over, she told me to sign up online for the Subway

University online training. I was hired on the spot. It was fairly chill and

laid back. Interview Question –

• What would you consider your weakness? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – May 3, 2013 Interview Details –When I applied, the Subway was in a small town. I

showed up and the manager asked me a few questions (why I wanted to

work there, what my available schedule was, if I could get along with

others, etc.). That was it. It wasn't a typical interview process because they

had just opened and needed people quickly.

Interview Question – • Why I wanted to work there?

------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandwich Artist at Subway - Accepted Offer – May 1, 2013 Interview Details –I got a call for an interview after a couple of days of

turning in the application. I answered a few simple customer service

questions and that was it. Job was offered Interview Question –

Cashier at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Jun 22, 2013 Interview Details –Interview was simple, straight to the point and fun.

District manager was very nice and I started the next day.

Interview Question –The sandwich station was the most difficult but I'm

still new so we will see how that goes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Crew Member at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – May 20, 2013 Interview Details –Applied on snagajob.com, got a call a couple days later

to come in for an interview. Manager was busy so I talked to a shift leader.

I handed him a resume (even though this was my first job) and he was

pretty impressed. He said my resume pretty much summed up the whole

interview. But he did ask me "What are your top 3 traits that will make

you a great employee at dunking donuts?" . After that, we discussed

availability, and I start work next week :)

Interview Question –standard interview questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Apr 23, 2013 Interview Details –Applied online ,called 1 week after for an interview.

Asked about the interest, previous experiences. Even though i didn’t have

much experience, but the recruiter gave me the job. He asked whether I

have the driver’s license, since i don’t have at that time ,he asked is u

planning to take license in the near future. Also asked about any previous

exposure to customer service settings or any food services. Interview Question –

• How much you expecting as salary? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Team Member at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Apr 1, 2013 Interview Details –The interview process for me was very, very easy. I went

in April 1st, 2013 and filled out an application, and then handed it to the

store manager. The store manager asked me to sit in the dining room and

he came out to speak to me. He asked me one question and hired me on

the spot. The interview process was super easy for me and I start April

2nd, 2013 at noon. The store I work at is in Augusta, GA right up the

road from the masters, so I know that next week will be busy.

Crew Member at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Mar 28, 2013 Interview Details –It is best when you know someone like the manager or

the crew member, in my own case, i knew a crew member who put in

word with the manager for me. But you must have your green card if you

are a non-us citizen, your social security number. The interview process is

basically questions on your background etc… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Crew Member at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Mar 8, 2013 Interview Details –I went in Dunkin Donuts to get a dozen donuts, there I

saw an ad for wanted help for after school I'm currently in High School, so

it was perfect for me!

The Ad also said that "All applications without Cover Letter will not be

considered." So then, I asked for an application, and went straight home,

filled it out, and created a Cover Letter, which included my qualifications,

experience, extracurricular activity, why I wanted to work there, volunteer

and work experience, accomplishments, and contact info. (Note that I'm

only 16, and a senior, so I don't have that much work experience, but

believe me, it's all about your wording, and how you advertise yourself

through that paper).

I asked for the manager later that day, but she wasn't there so I just

turned the papers in to the guy I got it from. 6 days later, I called in to

check up on my application.

The manager said that she hasn't called for interviews with anybody yet,

she asked my available hours, and she also said that she'd note that I

called. Then 5 days later, I called again to check up on my application, she basically said the same thing, and that she'll note that I called a second time. (You got to show them that you're really interested in that job).

A couple days later, she called me, asked me about my work experience,

available hours again, and asked my age. I'm 16, and they usually hire 17

or older, but she said that she'll ask her boss to see what she can do. About

an hour later, she called me again, this time she said to meet her at the

dining section of Bashas' at 2:30 p.m. since she doesn't work at that time,

she also told me to bring a copy of my State ID, and Social Security.

So that's how I got my interview. The next day, I started getting ready at

1:30, I put on a Shirt and Tie, Slacks, and Dress shoes, and a little bit of

cologne to make sure I looked presentable. I paper clipped the copies of my

State ID and Social Security (DON'T STAPLE!!).

I arrived at Bashas' at approximately 2:20 because in Interviews, 10

minutes early is what's considered "on time." When she came through the

door, I greeted her with a warm smile, and a firm handshake. We both

greeted each other, then I gave her the copies of my documents, and then

she said: "I'm really impressed with your cover letter, you sound like a

wonderful young man. So I'm gonna tell you, I'm already going to give you

the job, it's yours."

I was so surprised that she told me this in the very beginning of the

interview, so then after that I filled out a bunch of paperwork, and chatted

about the work environment, and that's that. She already had me on

schedule, I start in 3 days. So my best tip is: Make an awesome Cover Letter to go with your application even if you're not required to, and call them once a week to check up on your application to show your persistence. Good Luck!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crew Member at Dunkin' Donuts - Accepted Offer – Dec 13, 2012 Interview Details –the store i was applying for was not open yet it was a

franchise location (bp gas station and dunkin donuts) , i filled out the

application on snag a job, and ten minutes later i received an email saying

to give them a call to set up interview. So i called the manger the next day

and she told me to come in the next day for interview at 12pm,!!! when i

got to my interview the store was a mess lol, so we went in the middle of

the floor and there was a big box right there and that’s where i had the

interview we were standing up the whole time lol, the interview was really

easy, i promise you . I hate interviews and i suck at them too. But this one

was GREAT, she never asked stupid situational question. we mostly was just

having a regular conversation about the store opening, how many people

she hired or was going to hire, her other stores she have open...also she

showed me around the store which was REALLY small, but very nice. She

then said she liked me and had a good feeling about me. she had 3 more

people to interview so i was not hired on the spot, but she told me to call

her that Monday to let me know if i was hired, Interview Question –

• Why do you want to work here?

• Where did you work last and how long you been there.

• Do you have any questions for me?

• So how do you feel about working here?

Safeway Application Online Sam Seelig founded his company,

the Same Seelig Company, in 1912.

At this time he opened a single

grocery store in Los Angeles. Within

10 years that sing store had become

a chain of 71 stores.

Unfortunately, after World War one

the chain was in debt with its

grocery wholesaler W.R.H. Weldon,

who took over the company while

leaving Seelig in charge of the retail side of the operation. Two years

later, Seelig decided to leave the company for a different venture. At

this time a contest was held for a new name and Safeway won out.

Today the company has grown to include Safeway and 9 other

subsidiaries totaling over 1,500 stores.

SAFEWAY CAREERS: You can also work as a cashier, ringing customers out and making

sure they have found everything. Stock clerks are also important as

it’s their job to help make sure that the store shelves are fully stocked

and help to maintain a clean store.

Distribution is also important to Safeway. As a warehouse worker it’ll

be your job to help fill the orders at the distribution centers. You’ll

help to load the trucks with what the stores in your area needs. You

must be meticulous about filling the orders so that no one gets

shorted.

Many of the Safeway locations have pharmacies. Pharmacy techs are

on hand to help the pharmacist fill orders. Pharmacists are staffed to

ensure that the prescriptions from the doctors are written correctly

and filled accurately. They are also responsible for answering any

questions that the customer may have about a prescription or over-

the-counter medication. http://www.careersatsafeway.com/ LOCATION(S): http://www.safeway.com/IFL/Grocery/Store-Locator --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Courtesy Clerk at Safeway - Accepted Offer – Jul 13, 2013 New Interview Details –I applied online on the Safeway website. After a

week, i met with the store manager to discuss the status of my

application. She got my name and would call Human Resources to

setup an interview with me. I got a call the next day; being offered

an interview tomorrow. My interview was at a different Safeway

than the one I applied to. I met with the store manager in her office

in the back of the store. She was very nice and polite. At first, she

asked me simple yes or no questions like, "When can you start," and

"what hours can you work". I had a good feeling I was going to get

the job already. Then she asked me more in-depth questions.

Afterwards, I was offered the job and did a drug test on the spot.

Currently waiting on the drug results which should come in a week

but I should pass them and I was told I will start training on the spot

shortly after they come back. Interview Questions

• Discuss a time where you had a disagreement with someone and

how you worked it out.

• Discuss a time where you had to help a disabled person. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courtesy Clerk at Safeway - Accepted Offer – Jun 7, 2013 Interview Details –I was called after a week of turning in my

application online. They wanted me to come in for an interview right

then, and seemed insulted when I said i was unable to. We scheduled

the interview for the next day, and the girl who interviewed me was

very nice but seemed much more nervous than I was. The questions

were your basic questions, and I didn't have much to respond with,

with this being my first job and first interview. They didn't offer me

the job, but did a drug test right there and had me fill out

paperwork and was told to come back the next day. I was never

officially offered the job, so I was unsure if I was coming in to work

or for a second interview. Turns out I was hired and was coming in

for training. Very quick and not very structured. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produce Clerk at Safeway - Accepted Offer – May 26, 2013 Interview Details –Online application, got a call and scheduled

interview for next day. Fairly easy questions, basically if you dress up

and show up you already have the job because they always need new

hires. On the spot saliva test to save time and money and started the

next Monday. Try to get produce, bakery, or meat dept. as the deli is

disgusting and being a cashier hurts to stand in one spot for hours. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cashier at Safeway - Accepted Offer – Mar 1, 2013 Interview Details –I had one interview. The hiring manager wanted

me to work there because I had previous experience. Only had a few

simple questions about my availability. No work related questions

about customer service and such. Very easy interview. Even did

cotton swab drug test on the spot.

Interview Question –There was not a single hard question.

Negotiation Details –My previous job was for another grocery store,

and I left there making journeyman wages, so I wanted to make sure

I would be getting journeyman wages there as well. I was told I

would be getting the top pay, but they hired me at entry level, and I

had to stick it out making half of what I was making before for 2

months, (during my probation period.) After that, the union helped

me get my deserved salary and everything was fine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Safeway - Accepted Offer – Aug 21, 2012 Interview Details –I had applied online and received a call from them

within 2 weeks. The interview process was fairly slow. With me there

were 3 other people in waiting. The interviewer had 2 sets of 3 pages

and he asked me questions like, why i was interested in working for

Safeway and a situation where i had to go above and beyond. No

questions were asked regarding wage. They asked how I’ve handled

difficult customers in the past.

They are basically looking for peppy individuals. Have a smile on your

face. Be confident. Dress professionally (don’t overdo it) and prep

your answers in advance.

It went pretty well and i was hired. It’s been 2 weeks since the

interview, background check and final paper work and i still i haven’t

received a schedule. That’s the most annoying part.

Interview Question –no difficult question as such. there were questions like: • What 3 things would you suggest to a customer who buys cake

from Safeway.

• Pick one of the products sold at our stores and suggest it to a

customer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cashier at Safeway - Accepted Offer – Apr 9, 2012 Interview Details –Walked into the Safeway with my resume and

told them I needed a job to make some extra money. Once they saw I

was going to college I'm pretty sure I was hired. They asked me a few

questions about handling certain situations such as workplace conflict

and demonstrating leadership then gave me a drug test. Got a call

back later that day and told me I had to report to a training session

in two days. Interview Question – When is a time you have been challenged at you workplace? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sympathetic. Got offered a position the same day.

complain it was decent. Call Center Representative at Sears Holdings Corporation Accepted Offer – Jan 18, 2012 Interview Details – Did one phone interview. Also had to take multiple tests on a

computer which took 2 hours. Then I interviewed with 2 managers. The questions they

which is only true for 4 weeks during Christmas. I was also told there is room to grow

which is true but don’t expect a Pay raise for learning new skills

Interview Question – Tell me how you achieved a goal.

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…

Sales Associate at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Aug 20, 2013

INTERVIEW DETAILS – GENERALLY YOU GET 3 INTERVIEWS. Each manager or supervisor will go through hypothetical situations and

role play with you and also follow up on selections made through the online

application test.

Interview Question –Most are expected. There is a script they follow and can

deviate slightly from but most are normal questions expected from a retail

establishment. ------------------------------------------------------------

Sales Associate at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 7, 2013 Interview Details –common interview questions of retail. Emphasize your goal

of moving up and of helping others (customers). ------------------------------------------------------------- Part Time Cashier at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 5, 2013 Interview Details –You apply online and then it can take up to almost a

month to get a phone interview which you must pass to get and in store

interview. They don't tell you on the phone if you have passed or failed the

interview and it takes forever, almost a month for me, to get a store call

back. If you pass the store interview they will give you information for a

drug test and it took them a month to call me back to schedule training

and orientation.

If you need a job ASAP…DO NOT go for Home Depot,

their hire process is very long and you tend to hate it

when you get there which waste your time as well. As far as interview questions go, they ask how you've ever shown great

customer services, if you work well when a customer gives you a negative

attitude (because they will all day long) and if you give acceptable answers

they will hire you. One thing they don't do is discriminate, i do know that

much.

Interview Question –The most difficult question they could probably ask you is

why you want to work there, just be truthful. Even if you need extra

money, that's a fine answer they just want to know that you'll give proper

customer services -------------------------------------------------------------- Merchandiser at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 5, 2013 Interview Details –Even though it was a merchandising position, the interview

consisted of a few role playing questions about customer service. Example

"how would you help a customer looking to buy gloves?" I was also asked

about my greatest strength, my experience in merchandising.

Interview Question –Role Play: "How would you help a customer with gloves?" -------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 5, 2013 Interview Details –First you apply online, then you wait. If you get a phone

call, it's to schedule a phone interview. If that proceeds well, then you get

an interview with the Associate Support Coordinator, and if that goes well,

you get a second interview with the manager of the prospective

department. Drug test follows. And you're hired. However, I only had one

interview and got hired. -------------------------------------------------------------- Lot Attendant at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 5, 2013 Interview Details –got a call from the hr for a phone interview and they

asked basic question then they scheduled me for a store interview. I

interviewed with one manager and then had a second interview with the

store manager and he offered me the job. I had to take a drug test within

24 hours.

Interview Question –Why should we hire you over another applicant? -------------------------------------------------------------- Home Depot Cashier at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Sep 1, 2013 Interview Details –I applied online and a couple of days later I got an Email

stating that they wanted to ask me some questions. I called right away the

Rep asked like 4 basic experience questions. At the end of the phone call

she offered me an in person Job Interview. I went the Interview a week

and a half later. I was interviewed by the HR Manager, she asked me like 4

basic customer service questions. Got offered a part time job right after

took the drug test right after now I’m just waiting for my schedule.

Interview Question –Where do you see yourself in 5 year? --------------------------------------------------------------

Sales Associate at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Aug 30, 2013 Interview Details –The interview process was a bit mechanical and impersonal

over the phone first. The same goes for all Stores that I applied to: a

computer would ask some easy questions over the phone, and would

program a phone interview with someone either right away, or for another

day, so that would add additional insight if you are chosen for the phone

interview immediately. Then, I submitted an easy questionnaire over HD's

Website, with rather funny questions... Eventually, someone called me for

the personal interview, and I was interviewed twice: by HR and the Lead

manager. I was offered the Sales Associate position.

Interview Question –A behavioral question on how would you close a sale,

under rather unusual circumstances...? --------------------------------------------------------------- Part Time Cashier at Home Depot - Accepted Offer Aug 15, 2013 Interview Details –I applied online and about a week and a half later a

number from Atlanta (the main office) called me and had a formal over

the phone interview. After that she asked me what day I could go in to my

local Home Depot for another interview with the Hiring Manager. I went in

on Friday August 9th and arrived about 20 minutes early. From the start

he told me he was looking for a Part Time cashier and said the interview

would be a total of 6 questions. It was really calm and laid back. We only

went through about 3 questions and he asked me if I would accept the job.

Interview Question –If a customer walked in and the store didn't have the

item in stock, what would you do? ---------------------------------------------------------------

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…TACO BELL

TEAM MEMBER AT TACO BELL – Accepted Offer Interview Details –Walked in and filled out a paper application. The next day I had the interview and she told me to call her in the morning. I called and I was hired. The next week I signed documents and was told about my

uniform and protocol. Started working later that week.

Interview Question –What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Negotiation Details –Just be yourself and let your personality shine.

------------------------- TEAM MEMBER AT TACO BELL – Accepted Offer Interview Details –I placed my initial application online and was contacted within a couple of days. I also filled out a paper application on site for my

file. My interview was prompt, easy going, answered my questions, and

detailed my duties and rate of pay. I was hired on the spot, sent to do a

drug test, and within 2 days the results were back and I was placed on

training schedule.

Interview Question –I did not find any question unexpected or difficult. I have

several years of job experience, so I drew on past experience to answer

questions and to ask questions.

Negotiation Details –Dress professionally with hair and makeup done for

women, no sloppy or baggy attire, and conservative dress for females with

no dangly jewelry. Obviously well groomed and bathed. ----------------------------------------------------------

TEAM MEMBER AT TACO BELL – No Offer Interview Details –First they tell you to come early but make you wait a long

time to get interview.

They ask you if you want something to drink right when you get in. Then

when they start to interview you they ask a couple of questions. General

questions about your experience, availability, and your goals. They also

want to know what you hope to gain from working there. There next step

is to call you for a second interview which means you were hired.

Interview Question –question: They ask you to come up with a creative way to

tell the customers to have a nice day ----------------------------------------------------------

Interview Questions • Why do you think we should hire you over everyone else?

• Tell me your greatest strength? Your greatest weakness?

• Tell me a situation where a customer came to you yelling and upset

about something and what you did to fix the problem. ------------------------------------------------------- TEAM MEMBER AT TACO BELL – Accepted Offer Interview Details –They call you in for an interview. When you arrive they seat

you down in the restaurant at a table away from the crowd as best as

possible. Ask about your previous work history. Your schedule with school,

other job etc… (Nothing personal just what you want/need to share).

Then you both sit there filling out paper work and the GM helps if you

have questions. Then you call their Main HQ and confirm it all with those

guys over the phone.

If you already showed up with black shirt, cargo, non-slip shoes you might

be in luck and start that day.

They provide the first uniform shirt, hat, name tag free of charge. Interview Question –

• How would you handle an upset customer?

TEAM MEMBER AT TACO BELL - Accepted Offer Interview Details –The interview was done on the spot right after filling out

my application. I got the application from the cashier at the front register

and filled it out on site. I asked to speak to the manager in charge, and

presented to her my application. She asked if I had a few more minutes for

an interview, so we sat and began the interview process. The questions

were more of character than work history.

Amazon hiring 70,000 seasonal workers for holidays Amazon.com Inc. announced that it will hire 70,000 full-time seasonal workers in the U.S. to meet holiday order demand. Some of those hires will be at Amazon's Phoenix warehouse and distribution facility. The hiring plan represents a 40 percent increase over last year, the Seattle-based company said in a statement Tuesday morning. Amazon converted “thousands” of seasonal workers recruited in 2012 into regular full-time staff and expects to do the same this year, it said. According to Bloomberg, Amazon is boosting warehouse investment to reduce the time it takes to get products to customers amid rising competition from retailers such as Ebay and Walmart. Seasonal workers at Amazon earn about 94 percent of the starting wages of fulfillment center employees and are eligible for health-care benefits, the company said. In July, Amazon said it would boost staff in 17 U.S. warehouses by adding more than 5,000 full-time jobs. Wal-Mart, the world’s biggest retailer, is hiring 55,000 seasonal workers and adding another 70,000 part-time and full-time workers, seeking to bolster its workforce for the holiday season and reversing staff reductions that have made it hard to keep store shelves stocked.

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…AMAZON…

“KIND OF MORE LIBERAL THIS YEAR!”

Have you been convicted of a felony or misdemeanour or

been released from prison from a felony or misdemeanour

conviction in the last ten (10) years? PRETTY STANDARD SO FAR…RIGHT? If NO, enter N/A or NONE into this field.

If yes, please list convictions that are a matter of public record. Please

indicate the nature of the offense, date, country, state and disposition. ARRESTS ARE NOT CONVICTIONS.

Similarly, do not include convictions that led to a diversion program or

that have been sealed, expunged, pardoned, judicially dismissed or

otherwise treated as non-convictions by law. Applicants in California do

not include marijuana – related misdemeanour convictions that are more

than two (2) years old. HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE… “Convictions will not necessarily disqualify you from employment”

So if your previous conviction is not related to this position (crimes related

are theft, fraud, some violent crimes and “so” offences are deal breakers

and STOP READING HERE…SORRY!) then you are good to go…DWI/DUI’s

are only important if you are operating a truck or a forklift…

WHAT YA GOT TO LOOSE BROTHERS AND SISTERS?

As the old Man use to say…the worse thing they could do is hire ya!

pick up, and our Amazon Fulfillment teams go into hyper-speed!

"Peak" is an awesome and busy time for everyone in the Amazon

Fulfillment network. Our associates work overtime to ensure that we

continue to delight our customers during this busy time of the year.

Everyone, no matter what their role or responsibility, rolls up their sleeves

to get the job done at "peak!"

Although exhausting, a true Amazonian will be the first to tell you that it

is also exhilarating to be part of this unique experience. Our associates

count their tenure in our fulfillment centers by "how many peak seasons

they have worked" — we are all proud of what we can achieve during this

time of year.

AMAZON "PEAK" IS WHEN HISTORY IS MADE, AND AMAZON FULFILLMENT IS WHERE IT ALL HAPPENS.

* mezzanines = In industrial applications, mezzanine floor systems are

semi-permanent floor systems typically installed within buildings, built

between two permanent original stories. These structures are usually free

standing and in most cases can be dismantled and relocated. Commercially

sold mezzanine structures are generally constructed of three main

materials; steel, aluminum, and fiberglass. The decking or flooring of a

mezzanine will vary by application but is generally composed of b-deck

underlayment and wood product finished floor or a heavy duty steel,

Cement rods, aluminum or fiberglass grating.

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER…AMAZON

WAREHOUSE Associate at Amazon.com - Accepted Offer – Jul 24, 2013

INTERVIEW DETAILS –Hired direct upon company opening new building in

October of 2011. Was time tested on skill to verify accuracy of items. If

this was not passed in the allotted time you were excused and could only

apply as a temp with Integrity Associates. After passing skill test there was

a short interview followed by a drug test. INTERVIEW QUESTION –

• Can you work in a building that exceeds 90 degrees or more for 10

hours? ---------------------------------------------------------------- STOW/SHIPPING AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – JUL 22, 2013

INTERVIEW DETAILS –Went to the Integrity Staffing website, filled out the

simple application, and scheduled an appointment all in 30 minutes. A tip

on how to dress was to dress casual, but I went in a dress shirt and tie

because it wouldn't hurt just in case.

At the interview, I walked into a well-lit, air-conditioned, and orderly

building where I got signed in and did a quick ten minute citizen test. A

ridiculously easy test. Mostly questions connecting well-known movies and

books to their respectable titles. Afterwards, I waited for about 20 minutes

until I got called by my interviewer. Again, easy questions. Got the job and

information for the orientation.

After the informative orientation- which included a couple of videos on

sexual harassment and lawsuits following- I came back on my assigned first

day and got trained. Training took about two hours, which flew by. It

consisted mostly of how to do your job safely and correctly. "Bend your

knees, not your back", you know. For some reason, my group and I didn't

get to go to the actual warehouse where we would be working that day.

Instead, we were sent home.

On my ACTUAL first day, I went to work with my assigned Ambassador

(your on-the-job personal trainer). My Ambassador was only there for a

day teaching me the basics and secret hints for Stowing (my assignment

job).

To cut this story short, in a nutshell, my job is to be a bona fide librarian.

Scan the books, put them on the shelf, and you move on to the next book

or DVD.

Pros:

-Pays very well for an entry-level job. This is my first job.

My pay is 11.50/hr. -May vary depending on the warehouse location, but my department is

filled with good-natured people in a great atmosphere. And the supervisors

are friendly and attentive to questions.

-The break room is large and holds multiple soda, hot food, and ice cream

vending machines. Also has microwaves, refrigerators and coffee stations.

Cons:

-The hours are unreliable due to Amazon hiring a boatload of people left to

right. Due to this, the promised 40/hour a week shifts are in reality 11-

28max hours a week. This might be due to the fact that I was hired at the

beginning of summer. Amazon's peak season isn't until October-January,

the busiest time of the year for most shipping companies.

-Not so much of a bad thing, but in order to keep my job, I would need to

shelve 360 books an hour a few weeks into the job. I take back what I said

about being an ordinary librarian. This job is fast-paced and you either

keep up or get written up enough times to be terminated. Thankfully, I've

sped up my rate by 260 items an hour. But come on, the top Stower

shelves 750 items an hour?! A computer is probably the best for all I know.

Anyway, this job is tedious and slow despite having to stack and shelve

faster than humanly possible. Make sure to pack your Gatorade chews and

Red Bull for the long haul of 10/hr shifts that feel like ten years. INTERVIEW QUESTION –

• Will you be able to speed up your rate? ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATE AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – JUL 22, 2013

INTERVIEW DETAILS –Application, Phone interview, then in and invitation to

interview in person

INTERVIEW QUESTION –general interview question none related to work being

performed. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WORK FROM HOME CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – JUL 8, 2013

INTERVIEW DETAILS –A little over a week I submitted my application online I

got an email from a recruiter informing me of the next step in the process,

which was an online assessment. The assessment consisted of four parts:

1) A simulation assessment that took about 30 minutes to complete. It is a

mockup of a customer call, it plays audio you enter some information into

customer service software such as an order number, verify the callers

address and then submit a ticket at the end saying what the "customer"

called about.

2) A problem-solving assessment that took about 15 minutes. You can use

paper/pencil and a calculator to complete it.

3) A personality questionnaire that took about 15 minutes.

4) A computer compatibility test. I downloaded a program which then

checked which operating system I was running as well as processor speed

and internet connection to verify I have a computer that fits their

requirements. That took about 5 minutes.

Once I completed the online assessment I was immediately informed that I

was qualified for a phone interview. Roughly 3 days later I received a call

from a recruiter who scheduled a phone interview for the next week.

The recruiter called me on time and was very nice to me. I did not

consider it difficult the phone interview lasted about 20 minutes and

consisted of all behavioral based interview questions. Maybe five questions

all starting with "Tell me a time when...ECT" Mine were; "Tell me a time

when you had difficult customer", "Tell me a time when you weren't able

to completely help a customer with what they asked of you." Afterward I

asked what the next step in the hiring process was. He said that he was

happy to move on with me and explained that the next step in the process

was a background check. INTERVIEW QUESTION –

• Tell me about a time when you could not solve a customer's problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATE AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – JUN 30, 2013

Interview Details –First was just a phone call/ interview. They asked a few

background questions regarding my work experience. Then they asked for a

one on one interview at the warehouse. This is where they asked a few

personality questions to see if I meet the amazon family quality. The

interview here lead to the offer. INTERVIEW QUESTION –

• Are you able to work for more than ten hours in one day on a regular

basis? ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAREHOUSE Associate at Amazon.com - Accepted Offer – Jun 7, 2013

INTERVIEW DETAILS –I applied online and next received an email to set up a

phone interview. Once I completed the phone interview I received an email

to have a face to face interview at the job site. INTERVIEW QUESTION –I pretty much expected all of the questions because I researched

ahead of time. Just be positive and enthusiastic and you should be fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATE AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – MAY 11, 2013

INTERVIEW DETAILS –Most positions at the fulfillment centers are filled by

temp agencies. As long as your IQ is above room temperature and you

aren't addicted to any illegal substances, you'll get the job.

Interview QUESTION –Every temp candidate is given a simple test to fill out,

which tests the candidate's ability to perform simple job tasks. It also asks

if you have had any experience with a hand scanner. -------------------------------------------------------------- WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATE AT AMAZON.COM - DECLINED OFFER – MAY 13, 2013

Interview Details –Completed online application and usual questionnaire,

then received an email less than 12 hours later stating to schedule a phone

interview. The interview is on average around 30 minutes and consists of

the usual "Describe a time when...in your past employment?" questions.

After the phone interview I received another email stating to schedule the

on-site interview a week later. Plan to spend around 2 hours at the

warehouse if you’re interviewing during one of their hiring events. Sign in

upon entering, get your picture taken, then you're brought to a room

where you have a general computer test to assess you (doesn't affect

employment), and after that you're taken to a room for your one-on-one

interview. The interview consists of about five questions similar to the

phone interview about dishonest past employees, seeing coworkers steal,

why you chose amazon, etc. After the interview if you pass you're taken to

a room where you're going to receive an oral drug test and then Amazon's

offer their making you. Following that you're taken on a 25 minutes tour of the facility

and then done for the day and told to wait to be contacted for training. Interview Question –

• Describe a time when changes were made at management level that

you had to adapt to?

Reason for Declining –The wait to actually be contacted about the job and

training can extend over a month to two months; needed a job fairly soon.

------------------------------------------------------------ VENDOR MANAGER AT AMAZON.COM - ACCEPTED OFFER – MAY 6, 2013

INTERVIEW DETAILS –I applied for the Vendor Manager position and it took a

few weeks to get an email response. I had a phone interview with the

hiring manager that was very brief (about 45 minutes). I then received an

email from the HR recruiter to come in for’ an all-day interview. I hadn’t

told my previous employer that I was looking into other job opportunities

so it was a little difficult to take a full day off and then it keep changing

around because of schedule conflicts, etc. In the end we made it work after

about 3 changes. The day started at 9 am with 6 interviews (each for

about an hour) and an hour lunch break. I ended around 3:15 completely

drained. It is a long experience for sure. Each interviewer was responsible

for a different angle, but overall the questions had a similar theme. The

dress is very casual - definitely no suit and tie for the interview. The

culture is tough and it is definitely the smart kid’s class.
