Interview
I haven't had to the interview yet. I'm trying to use glassdoor to prepare for it but I couldn't look at the interview questions without filling out this survey first. There should be a way to get out of filling out the survey.
I interviewed at The Salvation Army (Fort Myers, FL) in Dec 2020
Interview
The interview process was one of the easiest I've done. It was a breeze. My interview was for the position of store clerk at The Salvation Army Family Thrift Store. The manager was very nice. She asked me what I knew about the company and my goals and values in life. I was pretty much hired instantly.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Salvation Army (Truro, NS) in Jun 2017
Interview
I was called in for a face to face interview about 3 weeks after applying. Was interviewed by 3 ladies, 2 of which were the supervisors for the that specific thrift store. Started off with the "what do you know about the company" and this slowly lead to more specific situational questions to do with how I handled conflict, organization, and various other scenarios in my professional history. While I did not find the interview particularly easy, I wouldn't say any of the questions they asked were particularly hard. It was the typical one person asks a question, and notes down my response, and then it moves onto the next person. They didn't not seem to have extensive experience interviewing people, making the interview a bit more casual than normal.
They said, they'd get back to me by phone in a few days even if I was not selected.
