      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Williams-Sonoma, Inc. in Jul 2016

      Interview

      The have to say the overall experience was quite pleasant. The General Manager was a little slow on getting back to me once I dropped off the application so I did touch base with them , but once I did that I was called back for an interview within 24 hours. The interview was pretty standard but with that being said I could tell they were interested in getting to know me to make sure I would be a good fit for the team. I was offered the job within 48 hours after the interview, they were great about giving me time to think it over and once I accepted the offer they made the process was very quick to get me in for paperwork and training.
