Interview
The office was very small and confined, but it was organized and cozy. The Manager was very professional and polite. She made me feel very comfortable. She started off by asking me about my personality and people skills. She was surprised to learn that this was my first job, but was willing to give me a chance, once she learned more about me. The interview and hiring process was very quick and easy. I was training on the computer the next day!

I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Circle K in Jul 2025
Interview
Applied online for Circle K in Parker, CO. Hiring person (he/him) called me the following Monday. Told him I wasn't prepared or properly dressed for the interview. He said he would be out for almost a week, so we agreed to 10AM that day. Went in, the interview went well. He said he would ask the company to "hurry up" the offer, He mentioned that had another interview to fill the position, but I could be a team member for 90 days and then move into the position at that same store. This agreement was regardless of whether he hired the other person. All looked good at the end of the interview. When I followed up on the Circle K website, my application was listed as expired on the day after the interview.
It was a quick, simple process through and through. Didn't last more then ten minutes and was offered the job on the spot. Manager seemed very knowledgeable regarding the position
