Dillard's Sales Associate Interview

Interview Details – Applied first on computer in the store office and was very quickly interviewed by a woman manager. She handed my a piece of crockery from a display and asked me to sell it to her. I asked for a second to look it over and saw i was labeled as dishwasher and microwave safe. I pointed out its nice decoration, then hit that the bonus was it was dishwasher and microwave safe. She said she liked me and wanted me to interview with the Men's manager soon but he was off that day. After waiting 3 weeks (!), I finally got to interview with him and he explained the sales position and responsibilities. He the passed me on to the hiring manager the next week. She asked me what I saw myself doing in 5 years. I said management. She immediately asked if I was prepared to move. I said yes as my son will be in college by then and I didnt want to do it until he finished high school. The next week I interviewed with the store manager, who had me sign some papers. I started trining the next week and was on the floor after two days of trining. All told, it took over 5 weeks to get through the interview process but I got the job finally.

Negotiation Details – Was not able to negotiate.
