I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PetSmart (Secaucus, NJ)
Interview
It was a very easy, simple interview. I interview with the assistant manager of the petshotel because the manager was away, and the petsmart store manager. Both interviews were very straight forward and asked simple questions. Each interviewer filled me in on what my day-to-day tasks would be and that I would be trained by other staff members, to ensure that I will be ready to do what is required of the job.
The interviewer, the assistant store manager at the time, was very nice and kind. She created a very relaxed atmosphere during the interview, which I appreciated, especially since interviews can make me very anxious.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you worked with animals before? What would you say your greatest weakness is?
Easy and laid back. Don’t sweat it, just answer with a bit of common sense. Everything was quick once I had been called for an interview. However, my application had been sitting for months before I received a call. Fairly normal for this industry.
You call on the phone to express your interest and they will interview you pretty quickly after that. You come in and usually the manager or assistant manager asks you basic animal care questions and your experience with customer service. Overall pretty easy interview process
