      Was referred by a friend and called in for a interview. Had to come back for a second interview because the original person that was suppose to interview me was not there. Came for second interview didn't get asked any questions just was told about the company and if i had any questions. At the end she liked that i smiled and hired me on spot. Had to fill out paperwork,finger prints, go to another site to do drug test within 48 hours, and was told i would get a call for orientation date when everything came back. Orientation was 3 days paid. After orientation went to our managers for schedule.

      Retail Sales Associate Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at HMSHost in Mar 2012

      Interview

      Asked many generic questions, straight textbook material. People seem to care about those are already in the company and have room for advancement but not so much for those who will leave soon. Best to let them know your future plans and goals and whether or not the company can help achieve those goals. Doing research prior is a big plus.
