No Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2012 – Reviewed May 6, 2013 New

Interview Details – Got an Introductory interview. Very easy questions, nailed it! Got a second interview and thought it was going to be just as easy as the first. Man was I wrong. Tough tricky questions. Asked very specific situational questions. I waited a long time only to call and find out that they had hired somebody else.

Interview Question – Asked a question about if someone had purchased something a year ago and it wasn't working and they wanted to return it, what would I do?   View Answer

Sales Associate at Bed Bath & Beyond

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Mequon, WI Oct 2011 – Reviewed May 4, 2013

Interview Details – Bed Bath & Beyond is ALWAYS accepting applications. In order to be considered, you need to go into the store and pick up an application, rather than submit one online. After you fill it out and go to turn it in, there is an immediate 5 minute interview. If they are interested , they call you back and you get another interview. If you get that, you are basically hired...

Interview Question – They were all pretty easy.   Answer Question

Sales Associate/Bridal Consultant at Bed Bath & Beyond

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Papillion, NE May 2009 – Reviewed Apr 21, 2013

Interview Details – Obtained application at customer service while collecting mass applications from stores inside nearby shopping center. Was informed by customer service associate of company's practice of performing short, preliminary immediate interview with applicant when submitting application. Appreciated this warning/explanation as in my personal opinion wasn't dressed for any kind of interview--I was simply stopping to obtain an application. Ensured I looked professional when I returned to submit my application. For immediate, preliminary interview, interviewed with manager on duty at the time & was scheduled to return at a later time & date to interview with the store manager. Interviewed with the store manager for duration of time I'm unable to recall (occurred 4 yrs. ago) & was informed I would be hired per positive results on background check.

Interview Question – I was asked about my comfort level of being on ladders/heights.   Answer Question

Customer Service Representative at Bed Bath & Beyond

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Wynnewood, PA Jun 2009 – Reviewed Apr 20, 2013

Interview Details – The process was impersonal, and relied on a form of set questions. Most of these involved how I'd react in certain situations, whether or not certain words described me, and similar canned questions. Not difficult, just answer how you think they'd want you to answer. I also had a brief meeting with one of the managers, but that was more of a conversation than an interview.

Interview Question – How do you deal with difficult customers?
What would you do if you found out a fellow employee was stealing?

Interview Details – When I applied to BBB, they seemed eager to meet me. The interview was brief and before I knew it they were scheduling me before I was actually hired...needless to say, it's a very easy job to get so long as you're a normal, respectable human being.

Interview Question – I was not asked a question I couldn't easily answer.   Answer Question
