Manager at Hollywood Video
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Houston, TX Apr 2008 – Reviewed Oct 13, 2012
Interview Details – I had to go through 3 interviews which I don't know why. I thought it was a little much for a job where I would be renting videos to people. The first interview was with the assistant manager. She wasn't very smart, but she wanted to get to know me. I don't think she had any say in the process. Second interview was lame as well, just a few questions. Third interview was the important one.
Interview Question – What is your past experience Answer Question

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Kalamazoo, MI Jun 2009 – Reviewed Oct 1, 2012
Interview Details – Called in for an interview and spoke with the store manager who asked a couple questions about my past work experience and some simple behavioral questions about interactions with customers or projects I've done, my strengths etc, usual stuff. It's a video store so the process isn't very intense, they just want to make sure you aren't going to steal from them.
Interview Question – Asked me what I would do if a customer complained about their late fee. View Answer

Went in for the group interview and spent 4-5 hours going over the store and things I would do and watched safety videos.
Interview Question – The most unexpected question when I was interviewed was if I enjoyed mopping. Answer Question
