Office Supply Associate Interview

Negative experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Staples (Shirley, NY) in Feb 2015

Interview

Got called in for an interview. Showed up to interview, woman who was supposed to be interviewing me was not there. I was asked to wait twenty minutes, so I did. Finally she shows up and sits me in a room in the back with her, only for her to walk out and have someone else conduct the interview after about two minutes. The man who conducted my interview after her seemed just as confused about the situation as I was. After my interview was over it took a month for them to extend the job offer to me.

There were two interviews. One with the GM, The other with the assistant manager. The one with the GM seemed to be more of personality questions and to see how I would be with the team. The second on with the Asst. Manager was more of a real interview.
