Leon's Furniture Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Halifax, NS (Canada) (took 5 days)

Two interviews in total. The manager was very personal in the first interview, it felt almost like chatting with a friend. I told her about my past jobs, joked about some things that happened, she then joked about some things that have happened to her while she's been working with Leon's. She asked how i deal with customers and how it was important for her to hire someone with a good personality, because she could teach me the software, but not how to have good customer relations. She then said "normally we send you home now, and if we're interested, call you for a second interview in about a week.. but how would you like to just get your second interview over with right now?" So i went for it. The next woman came in, she was very nice as well, we chatted. She asked me about the history of Leons. (Which I knew, and she was impressed) She talked about some of my volunteer work and what my plans were for the future. They are now doing my background check -- it sounds quite extensive. They must contact all of my personal and work references, criminal record check, etc. If every thing comes out clean, I should have the job by next week! The whole interviewing process took about an hour and a half, which is quite long compared to my past experiences.
