I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at PetSmart in Apr 2014
Interview
I was called in quickly for an interview, once in I sat down in the break room and we talked a bit about what the job entailed and they asked pretty general interview questions like some qualities I had and why I thought they were beneficial. They asked what did I think the most important thing about a store visit was and I responded with customer service. They love customer service, it's the number one thing they always want you talking about. I shared my experience with animals and the manager had be try to sell her on a product after I was given time to look it over. She asked some questions I would ask a customer when trying to assist with their purchase and I was quickly hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's something you would ask a customer as they were checking out at the register?
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.
