      Sales Associate Interview

      Sep 18, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Atlanta, GA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at HMSHost (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2011

      Interview

      It was conducted in a cramped trailer outside of Hartsfield Airport...that should have made me turn away. The person that interviewed me was actually very nice, but that all changed once I accepted the job and started working for her.

      Sales Associate Interview

      Nov 9, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      San Diego, CA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HMSHost (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2013

      Interview

      I applied online and was offered an interview about 2-3 weeks later. I was contacted through phone and email in regards to when I could come in. I met the human resource manager who went over my resume and asked basic questions about experience and school. Easy straight-forward interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      If you caught another employee stealing, how would you address the issue? Would you tell the manager or keep it to yourself?

      Sales Associate Interview

      May 14, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Saint Paul, MN
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HMSHost (Saint Paul, MN) in Mar 2011

      Interview

      Several people were with me initially. The hiring manger lectured to the group, then met us more individually. She assigned me to the bookstore. I can't remember all the details anymore. An employee waited as I urinated for their drug test, which was stressful. They took my photo for the badge, which is necessary to get through security.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked about my background in sales, and if I'd take a required drug test. The job was at the airport, so there were several screenings and checks they made. It took a week and a half for them to get back to me, because the results of the drug test took a lot of time.
