It was simple and fairly quick. I talked about my previous experiences in retail and what I was looking for in an employer. I wanted to get into a job that would actually give me a better opportunity to help customers and build skills as a sales person, and a person in general. They were friendly and professional.

I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Office Depot (Nanuet, NY)
Interview
Fairly easy 5 basic retail customer service questions but heres the catch. Lets say you apply for the merchandising position..they will put you on the register first to make sure your giving great customer service lol and if your not customer friendly enough you will lose the job before you even start i know crazy! But if you pass that they will throw you in other departments and whichever one your good at they'll keep you there doesn't matter what you applied for so don't waste your time and since buisness is slow the most hours you'll get is the 15 lmaooo im glad she aint call me back for a 2nd interview really really am!!
