Cost Plus Sales Associate Interview

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Tucson, AZ (took a day)

Applications are done online only. The store that you apply to has a specific number, and each store has a manager that will contact you either via email or phone call to talk to you about your availability based on the times and positions they need to fill. During the holiday season they will hire a lot of temporary seasonal help that may lead to a non-temporary position. Getting a full-time position is very rare unless you are a department head, supervisor, or manager.

For the interview, be prepared to sit down with the manager and to be asked about your actions and reactions to past jobs, what good and bad experiences you have had with previous employers as well as what and why they occurred, why you want to work for Cost Plus World Market and why you would be a good fit for the company. Very basic and generic interview process, but if they offer you a position they will notify you via email.
