I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Student Painters, LLC
Interview
There are two different phases of the interview process. The first interview is very casual, basically a good time for the candidate to get to know the company and for the company to make sure they understand the commitment and get to know the candidate a bit as well. The second interview is a lot more serious. By the time candidates get to the second interview, they have narrowed down their selection of candidates from about 500 to usually 6. After the second interview, usually half of those 6 are hired. They are this selective because a lot of people can run a business, but not every one of them can be successful. They are very good at finding those that CAN be successful, so then after hiring them it is their job to MAKE them successful.
