I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Staples (Elizabethtown, KY) in Jul 2009
Interview
One simple interview with the General Manager. I was questioned about my previous customer service experience as well as familiarity with copy machines. I got a great feeling about the position and what it could lead to for me, seeing as I needed to transfer to a different town shortly after being hired. The GM was very laid back and seemed willing to accommodate my upcoming move.
