I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart (Columbia, MD) in Oct 2015
Interview
Manager called me to schedule interview after reviewing my application online.
Tip: Don't call the store about your application, it's viewed as an inability to follow instructions.
Interview was 30-45 minutes. Spent a lot of time talking about my experience with animals and understanding of care standards. Part of the job is teaching people how to take care of their pets properly, so it's important to have a basic understanding of all the animals the store carries, fish, small mammals, birds and reptiles/amphibians.
The traditional questions surrounding strengths and weaknesses, as well as teamwork preferences and leadership ability or management experience give you a chance to brag a bit about being a team player and how you might build on a weakness you have.
Was asked some basic questions pertaining to my knowledge of animals, customer service, etc. It was probably about 30 minutes long and pretty basic. I'd say it's the typical process for a first job for a teenager.
very simple, one on one interview. asks basic questions! felt like talking to a friend instead of having a tense interview. got to know my manager in the process which was nice.
I applied online. I interviewed at PetSmart (Oakville, ON)
Interview
I applied online and had an interview with the assistant store leader. I was supposed to have another interview with the store leader but they called me with the job offer before that. The interview happened in the dog training room.
