I applied online. I interviewed at Petco in Aug 2022
Interview
Asked about availability. Must be available for weekend shifts. Not flexible. No other questions were asked. I am typing this to fulfill the word requirements. will not be working here.
This started as an open group interview, that then moved to individual interviews. The group process happened in the front of the store, with the individual process moving to the office. Overall quick and painless.
It was pretty easy. The interviewer asks questions provided by Petco. My interview was short as the interviewer wanted it to go quick, but I don't believe this is the norm. Many questions are related to having a previous job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are there any animals you are uncomfortable handling?
It was easy just talk about how you are with animas. I had experience so I just talked about that and they were very happy to hear about it. So don’t worry
