I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Foot Locker (Buffalo, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
Phone screening and in person interview. You have to pass an online personality test or else your application will not be received. Foot Locker always needs more sales associates so as long as you seem smart, responsible, and outgoing, with decent availability, you will get hired.
The interview setting is a group interview. Everyone was dressed somewhat casually and in their favourite sneakers. We were interviewed by the store manager and an assistant manager in both English and French since it was in Quebec. The questions were relatively easy, and it was easy to get your personality out there in this kind of environment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If an item was out of stock, how would you handle that situation with a customer?
I applied online and got a phone call a week later to do the in person interview. In person I had to visit the store and ask for the manager that contacted me.
It was 10-15 minutes. Went pretty easy. They asked about me random questions and then told me about the job. The interviewer was nice and told me not to worry and that it is just general things.
