J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 5 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Half Price Books (Columbus, OH) en mai 2015
Entretien
I was really looking forward to this interview after reading the Glassdoor reviews of the interview process. Book/general media recommendations! I can do that! When I got there 15 minutes early, I was told the manager was currently interviewing another candidate and could I please wait? No problem, I expected to have to wait, having been early. Unfortunately, I had to wait WELL past the scheduled interview time. Once the manager finally met with me, what occurred was less an interview and more the manager complaining about how busy they were, how many interviews they had to conduct, and how a new location opening in the city was cannibalizing all of their store's employees and what a pain it was. I never had adequate time or opportunity to sell myself. After not-quite 20 minutes, the interview was over. I was never asked about book recommendations, and never got the apparently standard HPB "creative" questions about catching 100 butterflies or whatever.
One positive: the process was very quick. I applied online on a Saturday, got a call for an interview the following Monday, and scheduled that interview two days later on Wednesday. At the end of the (very brief) interview, the manager let me know that they would be calling the chosen candidates by the next Tuesday.
Was a fairly standard retail job interview. Asked about previous retail experience, challenging situations, and also asked about your favorite media or books. Wasn't a particularly challenging interview if you've worked retail before. Didn't last long at all, probably around 20 minutes.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
What was a difficult situation that you had with a customer and how did you resolve it?
Very straightforward they ask question and as about your background and what kind of media, books, and movies you like. Just be yourself and personable and you’re good. They also go over your resume so make Sure you know what to say and what your wrote. Very friendly!
Easy, straight to the point, very casual. They walk you to the office in the back room and it’s more like a casual conversation than anything. Management is really nice and had a good amount of laughs throughout. They ask if you specialize in a certain topic as well (what books do you read)
