      Interview

      Very fast, was recommended to apply for a different position rather than what I applied for based on my resume, store manager seemed friendly, lasted about 5 minutes and seemed like I'd get an offer after I applied for the other position recommended to me.

      Dog Trainer Apprentice Interview

      Aug 2, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      East Longmeadow, MA
      No offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Petco (East Longmeadow, MA) in Jul 2018

      Interview

      I was called in for an initial interview with the assistant store manager, and then a second interview with the general store manager. The interview with the assistant store manager was fun and fairly casual. The interview with the store manager was more formal. The store manager asked very few questions except "Tell me about yourself", whereas the assistant store manager asked many questions about my interests and what I would be comfortable with.
