I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors (Fayetteville, AR)
Interview
i got a call over a month after I applied to see if I could come in for an interview. So that was annoying. But the interview was super easy, one on one with a manager who was nice and made it really comfortable. Questions are a standard for all stores that he read from. Things like what do you do when you have a lot of work at once w/ example, a time when you've given great customer service, dealing w/ difficult coworker, how do you know when you are doing a good job, etc
