Very Easy Interview

Overall Neutral Experience

Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed May 2011 (took a day)

I applied online at the OfficeMax website and filled out the application. Within a few weeks I received a call to schedule an interview. During the interview, I was basically asked if I was willing and able to sell extended warranties to which I replied yes.

The manager made an offer of $7.75 per hour to which I accepted. After that, we talked about my future goals, where I was from, and other random topics. The interview was very informal and relaxed and the main thing that manager's are looking for is commitment and previous work experience.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Cleveland, OH (took 2 days)

First they do a phone interview with the prospective applicants...it is a very structured interview clearly obvious that the manager was reading from a guide...the biggest advice i have for any applicant is do your research on the job description and you will surely get the job.
The face to face interview process is exactly the same as the phone interview they ask you to do a llittle role play with you..

Like the manager asked me to give my best sales pitch to convince him to buy this desk calendar. It was funny but awkward. Nine times out of ten if you get the interview when you walk in they have made up their mind they going to give you a offer. Its all in the matter if you will take the offer.

Give me your best sales pitch to sale me this desk calendar.

Answer Question

Negotiation Details

Negotiation I think not. They are firm in there offers its no room for flexibilty.. If you dont like the offer they will take it to someone else who will do the same job and probably for less.

Advice to others in this stage of the offer...be flexible.
