I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Office Depot (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2019
Interview
The manager was nice and asked me to sell a stapler. Asked personal questions about school, work, etc.. Hired on the spot. Was a very easy interview. Just wants employees who are competent.

Question 1
Sell me a stapler Wh do you want to work here What is your work experience like?
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.
