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.

Interview with District Manager. Was asked about background. Was asked some basic questions like: tell me about a time when you had an unhappy client/customer. What was the problem, how did you deal with it and what was the outcome. Had to do for both a good outcome and a bad outcome. Another question, tell me about an employee that was not doing their job correctly. What steps did you use to get them to do their work correctly.

I didn't negotiate. You do not know what they are offering you until some time after the interview when they email you an employment offer letter.

Interviewed May 2010 in New York, NY (took 5 days)
Nice people but I didn't feel I was a good fit for the company. I didn't like how retail based the company was. Also, the benefits aren't that great as opposed to other places and the pay was hourly and minimal. I wish Kansas City offered more support to employees than just "calling in".

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.

I did. It doesn't hurt to ask for more especially when they tell you they need someone in training that same day.
