Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All questions were situational. “Tell me a time when..” you can find the interview sheet on there website. Some people weren’t even asked questions. So it depends. I was asked 5. “Tell me a time when you dealt with an angry customer.” “Tell me a time when you had to work as a team.” Asked if I’m used to this kind of setting and to tell him about it. Asked if I can do labor type of job. Asked if I ever missed work or called out before. Things like that... easiest interview ever. Big plus if you’re a vet :)
