I applied online. I interviewed at Staples (Cedar Grove, NJ) in Apr 2021
Interview
Just tell a little bit about yourself, why you want to work at Staples, and your availability. It only took about 10 minutes even though they say it'll take an hour.
The interview process was pleasant enough. I did have to wait for the person who was going to interview me for a bit, but when he showed up he took me to a more secluded part of the store and we began the process. He was pretty nice, and explained the responsibilities I was asking about just fine. He even suggested an alternative position to the initial one I was applying for because he thought it may fit me better.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Staples (Newington, CT) in Jun 2016
Interview
Brief session of routine questions, very conversational interviewer. It was relaxed and comfortable. She told me they liked to hire students. She asked if I knew anything about the company and how do I deal under pressure.
