Hot Topic Sales Associate Interview

Interview Details – Submitted application, called back a week or so later (they DO NOT like it if you call after a few days, they have stacks of applications to go through on a constant basis), talked to one of the keyholders, he said they didn't need anyone now but they might in a couple weeks, he called back a couple weeks later and offered an interview, I went to meet him and we talked about music and he asked some questions about morals and ethics, it went well so he scheduled a second interview with another keyholder for the next week, I met her and we mostly just chatted about things (I think she was feeling out my personality), that interview went well so they told the manager to hire me and, obviously, I got hired.

Negotiation Details – I wasn't able to negotiate anything. The pay is minimum wage to start and they won't go any higher than that. No benefits other than getting a free concert ticket if you fill out a survey at the concert.
