Interview
On phone, asked questions, really basic test to see if I was qualified. There was no interview in person in my case. This was one of the easier interviews that I have been on because of this.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at MarketStar in Aug 2014
Interview
Applied for the position the first part of the day. I get a phone call from one of the recruiter the same day. We conducted a basic phone interview about my qualification and short detail about the position. We set up a date and time for the web cam interview. On the day of the interview, the same recruiter asked me opened ended questions regarding retail and manager relationship. The interview process lasted for 30 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very basic qualifying questions. Open ended which emphasizes on personality. They asked me to do sell a product of my selection. Example questions: What is your experience in Retail? What's your relationship like with your manager? What do you love about Retail? What is your favorite product? Why is it important for customers to buy your brand instead of the competitor?

Interview
Hiring process includes a call from the recruiter, a phone interview and then a video interview. A video interview is a bit awkward since unlike a skype interview, you are actually speaking to a computer. The lack of human interaction makes it difficult to demo how you present your field training since you have no one to feed off of for the demo. In other words, you are reciting a demo to your computer screen, like an actor which is not necessarily a skill set a field trainer has.
