I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart (Nashua, NH) in Aug 2012
Interview
Very simple and relaxed interview. The manager and salon manager will talk with you. Applied for a bather and eventually became a stylist. They explain the job and make sure you can handle the stress, multitasking, and teamwork. You NEED to be able to handle a stressful environment and be a patient and caring person to do this job. Most of the animals don't want to be there because they are getting a bath (what dog likes baths? very few) it is your job to be kind and relaxed for the animals sake. If you aren't the person for this job you will find out the first day that you can't handle working in a pet salon.
Easy and straight to the point. They asked pretty basic questions. It was the assistant store manager and the pet stylist supervisor. They asked me what kind of dog I think I would be. Although I panicked and said a chihuahua, they enjoyed my answer.
Straightforward, was referred by current employee, asked technical questions about grooming. I did not do very well they did not extend offer. hopefully next time. kind interviewer was understanding, suggested I study grooming for next time.
