Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
When I first walked into the Papyrus on Lexington Ave on the Upper east Side of Manhattan, New York I was greeted very warmly by the staff that was currently on duty. The MOD at the time handed me an application which I took home and returned the next morning with a copy of both my resume and cover letter. Both days that I visited the store, I dressed very professionally and made sure that I was a as clean cut as possible. Within two weeks, the store manager contacted me to set up an interview.
On the day of my interview, I was greeted by the same staff that I had seen the days i picked up and returned my application. The manager was a very energetic and eclectic woman whose hand I shook upon meeting her. The interview was very basic. She asked what types of jobs I had in the past, what sort of skills and qualifications I felt that I had for this work environment, whether or not I was in school, if I had another job etc. During the interview I had noticed that my resume was sitting in a pile of numerous others and I realized that they were simply going through the pile and hadn't really "picked" me--which is normal. At the conclusion of the interview, I shook her hand once again and she told me that I would be contacted in the next week or so on whether or not I would be working at the store. Sure enough, three days later I got a call stating that I had been hired and that I should come in the following Monday to fill out paperwork and get a schedule worked out!
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Since I was only applying for a job as a part-time Sales Associate, I was asked what type of hourly rate was best suited for me. I considered asking for eleven dollars an hour, but realized that my current living situation wasn't quite up there now (though NOW it is!) so I talked myself down to asking for nine dollars an hour. For anyone applying for a position like this, keep mind that you are only applying for a job as a Sales Associate at an up-scale card shop. There isn't much brain power behind what you'll be doing. When trying to come up with a rate that is best for you take into consideration the type of neighborhood the store is located in, what your current living situation is, and how much a the average Sales Associate makes at any Papyrus.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
I thought the interview was very professional. The back room is very small so the manager asked if it would be ok if we walked over to Starbucks to conduct the interview. It was not a very long interview, yet everything was discussed. She talked about the daily tasks, got information about my previous knowledge similar to the job, and went over the rate of pay. I left with all my questions answered without needing to ask all of them myself.
