Assistant Store Manager at Dollar Tree
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Sacramento, CA May 2013 – Reviewed May 9, 2013 New
Interview Details – There was a job fair for local Dollar Tree stores hiring all positions. First I filled out a standard paper application, then went in for the first interview. The first interview was standard questions like "Why Dollar Tree" and a couple behavioral "How would you..." questions. First interview took about 15 minutes. Second interview was with the district manager and it consisted more about me talking about my experiences and what the job entails. One week later, I got an offer. Haven't decided whether to take it or not, because the pay is atrocious. Barely above minimum wage for a management position is just wrong...but I need the job so I will most likely take it.

Cashier at Dollar Tree
No Offer – Interviewed in Charlotte, NC Jan 2010 – Reviewed May 7, 2013
Interview Details – I honestly got offered the job half-heartedly because I was being pleasant with the cashier who happened to be the store manager. I filled out an application and printed off a resume. My GPA helped her know I had the ability to do simple math. She sat me down for a 5 minute interview at the time I handed in my application. I started the next week.
Interview Question – Do you get along well with more elderly people? (No one under 30 worked at this store.) Answer Question
