I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Office Depot in Jun 2014
Interview
Took two months from the first time I filled out the app to even get called. I took an assessment and then waited another month. I had to reapply, and then I interviewed with the Assistant Store Manager. I was nervous because I thought he was a serial killer. He was very nice, however, and I talked with the store manager. I was hired on the spot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None, honestly. It is so easy to get hired in this place.
The interview is straightforward and customer service focused. It includes questions about past retail experience, handling difficult customers, teamwork, sales goals, cash-register comfort, and schedule flexibility. The hiring manager asks scenario-based questions, explain daily expectations, and upselling of protection plans/services. The process is short.
Quick and easy process. Your standard interview questions. Nothing major or hard just your basic Human Resources questions. Glad that it was not a 37 step process like some interviews have turned into.
A phone call interview collected basic information, then an in-person interview took place at the actual store. I was asked several questions about my experience and given scenarios to respond to with solutions.
