I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Goodwill (Amherst, NH) in Apr 2016
Interview
I interviewed with the assistant manager, and the questions were straightforward. Asked me about how I work with others, times I would be a leader on a project, and the scheduling. I talked about the obstacles I have overcome to get to a better place in my life, that I like people and meeting people. I also did my homework how Goodwill operates and expressed what I knew about it. I even said that I liked their scheduling. I was told that they would have employees in the position by May 1st and I would hear by phone if I got the job and email if I did not get the job. I just the rejection email notifying me that I did not get the position. It is frustrating since I thought Goodwill would be more than willing to hire me (and was even told it was a welcoming environment), but it seems they are like my other experiences on retail interviews: If you show too much intelligence, you will not get hired.
