Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Dickson City, PA Sep 2011 – Reviewed Apr 23, 2013
Interview Details – I went in and asked if they were hiring, and then I got an application and filled it out. I took it back later that day, and asked to talk to the manager. Michelle is the General Manager there, and she was willing to interview me right there on the spot. She didn't even look at my application first. She did glance it over as we were sitting at one of the tables talking.
Interview Question – There were not any difficult questions. She just wanted to know that I was planning on being there for more than 3 months. Answer Question
