Simple, almost like a conversation so it should be pretty easy if you just talk normally. The manger made it pretty relaxed, described the job and the tasks the we would do etc.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Big Lots
Interview
It was pretty straight forward. I applied online, then a recruiter called and interviewed me. They asked basic interview questions such as; what would I do in a particular situation and what was my weakest area. I was then called in and interviewed by the DM. The recuriter called again and offered me a position.
Interviewed with Store Manager, then with District Manager. They asked me to complete a paper application. Then they told me they would let me know in about a week. I recieved a call the next week that they were going to move forward and submit my information to their HR department.
