Interviewed Dec 2010 (took a day)
There was a hiring site for people to apply for jobs at H&R Block. It was really easy. You went in and talked to a employer about your work experience and if you had enough, you had the job.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Providence, RI (took a day)
I applied for the position in October. I received an email in December asking if I would come in the next day for an interview which was a Saturday afternoon. I then met with the office manager who was very pleasant. She asked me about my background and what type of work I was looking for either part time or full time. She then let me know the position is indeed part time but during peek time it is possible to make full time hours. She asked me to describe some scenarios that I had encountered in the past. After our interview was complete she told me she would contact me and let me know when training begins and I actually start today.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took a day)
It was a panel interview of about 5 members. THe interview took place in an office within an office park, not an H&R Block store front office. They asked me questions about my resume and how familiar I was with taxes. They asked if I was willing to do basic administrative duties around the office. This was my first interview. If you take the interview seriously, you shouldn't have a problem receiving an offer. I received an offer and that was my first real interview ever.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took a day)
I applied online on H&R Block website. I received a call for an interview and it sounded like they wanted to move fast. The interviewer asked me a few questions and said she would talk it over with the Manager. They wanted someone hired so they could go to training that same night. She called back and offered me a lower wage than I wanted. I told her that if she increased it by a $1 then I would accept it. She said she would call back if that figure didn't work, and to attend training. She didn't call back so I went to training and verified the new wage.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Sacramento, CA (took a day)
The interview was preety easy for a group/panel interview. I felt relaxed and answered shortly but got to the point. The ladies that interviewed us were very niece people, friendly and this really helped us to be less nervous or stressed about the questions. The questions were preety basic and easy. After a week I went to my second interview with the office manager where I chose to work and it was a little bit difficult but not impossible and I did my best and after a couple of days I got a phone call from the manager, telling me that I was hired for the position, thing that made me so happy. So my advice for everybody who will attend an interview is not to be afraid or too stressed because it's not too bad like it seems and the recruiters are human beings like us so try to relax and be professional, smile and have a positive attitude. Good luck for everybody!
