Question 1
I did not receive any questions due to being hired directly from school. If I had to guess, a difficult question would pertain to something about how you interacted with a customer and how you delivered exceptional customer service.
Applied online, received an interview offer the same day which consisted of a walk of the department and setting of expectations. Orientation was then set for two weeks later, and with training included it only took about two days before I was able to ve out on the floor.
The interview process was structured and professional. It began with a phone screening where basic questions about my experience and availability were discussed. This was followed by an in-person interview with the department manager, where I was asked more detailed questions about my knowledge of lumber products and sales techniques. The final step was a brief meeting with the store manager to discuss company culture and expectations.
