I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Office Depot (Federal Way, WA) in Jun 2016
Interview
Hiring was done via their careers website, which I don't recommend. Depending on the store as well as the timing of the application posting, the store manager may not have received your application. If you want to apply, I would suggest you just do it in store, otherwise I would recommend applying via their careers website and follow up with a phone call to make sure that your application has been received.
The interview process was straight forward. If I could compare it to something I would say it was more like a conversation rather than an interview. Aside from base questions regarding habits, ethics, and organization, the interview was like an open discussion rather than an interview.

Question 1
What do you think is the cause of the majority of shrink in the retail industry?
The process is very simple you interview in person. You meet with the store manager who will ask you about yourself and your customer service experience, this job is usually entry level so it’s okay not to have experience.
Very easy. The interviewer focused on your experience and your personality that would be fit to interact with customers and promote the companies sales. The manager is very nice. There are 2 interviews that scheduled on 2 different days
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Office Depot (Denver, CO)
Interview
Quick and easy, respectful of time and did not drag out the process. Only met with the Assistant Store Manager, offered the job on the spot. Completed a scavenger hunt to learn where items in the store were.
