Interview Details – I applied to Dick's Sporting Goods for a cashier position at the end of August 2011 and landed an interview in the first week of Oct. 20ll. The interview was very basic and extremely quick, took less than 10 mins. My interviewer was nice but appeared as if she did not know what questions to ask. There were long awkward pauses between questions. Other than that my overall experience, I can say it was one of the easiest interviews I had ever done. I would have loved to work there because the staff seemed very nice and a fun group to work with.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Poughkeepsie, NY Sep 2009 – Reviewed Jan 10, 2010
Interview Details – Very quick interview. Mostly to the point. Questions centered around honesty (i.e., not stealing) and skills-set for the job--purchases, returns, etc. The test which asks you questions about stealing, however, was a pain because it is a phone test and if you screw it up, you can't be considered for the job for six months even if you are a returning employee (as I was).

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Saugus, MA Sep 2011 – Reviewed Sep 7, 2011
Interview Details –
I initially applied online, and I get a call from them a couple of days later. I am scheduled for an interview a few days later on a Tuesday. So, I go to the store 15 minutes early, and I only wait about a couple of minutes for my interviewer to come. (The people there seem pretty friendly.) It's quite a big store, so I follow my interviewer to the employee-only area. He asked me some questions on the walk there, and then we sit down at an office. And he asks me questions, which I answer of course. It probably only took at most ten minutes to complete the interview. I call them back a week later, and I'm scheduled for another interview on Labor Day. Not to my surprise, it had to be rescheduled on that day. (They probably didn't realize it was Labor Day.) It was changed to two days later.
So, I go there and back to the employee-only area. I'm placed to a computer to take a 20-minute test to determine my personality, I suppose. After I'm done, I'm brought to the same office with a different interview. She's nice as well. She goes over my last one and basically asks the same questions and tells me about the job that's best for me (cashier). This interview was probably just as longer as the last one. She tells me that I sound like a good candidate, and she might call me back even today or in a couple of days. No longer than a half an hour later, she calls me to tell me I got the job.
