No Offer – Interviewed in Portland, OR – Reviewed Jun 7, 2013 New
Interview Details – Applied on line. A week later I got a call from the store manager to come in for an interview. Before the interview, I went online to Glassdoor.com and looked up salary range for the position I was interviewing for. The cap on the salary was well below what I was currently making. I had put my salary requirements on the cover letter, which was not read or was ignored by the store manager in this process. I called and cancelled the interview.
Interview Question – During the phone interview, I was asked if I would be interested in the assistant store manager position. I had applied for the store manager position. I agreed I might be interested. Answer Question

Interview Details – I received a call within 30 minutes of putting in the application. He called me and set the interview for the following Monday, I showed up early, he seemed happy with all of my answers and questions. I was told I would receive a call on the following Friday no matter if I got the job or not. I never received said call, called them multiple times and got the run around. Was told by his under manager that he had to ask him as they hadn't communicated who they were and were not hiring yet...

Interview Details –
I applied online from a flyer I saw, and got called in for an interview a couple of days later. I came in the next day and met with one of the managers for the interview. She told me about what I could expect to be doing if I got the job, mainly just organizational stuff and occasionally working the cash register. Then she asked me about five questions:
-How my previous work relates to this job
-Why I wanted to work there
-A time where I had to deal with an angry customer
-A time where I was very busy and how I dealt with it
-Who the most hard working person I knew was
Interview Question – -Who the most hard working person I knew was View Answer
Negotiation Details – No negotiation for the original position, but because of my previous banking position, they said they would consider placing me in a cash-handling scenario where I could make more money.

Retail Sales Associate at Ross Stores
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Pacifica, CA May 2013 – Reviewed May 19, 2013
Interview Details – I submitted an application online. A couple weeks later the manager called me to set up an interview. I arrived at the store and was led me to the back, asked me where I lived, if I was in school, my availability, work history, etc. A second store manager asked me questions about what I like to do, why I want to work here, if I had retail experience, and what I like to do in my free time, and told me the duties of the job, the pay rate, and how many hours the store usually gives to employees. I was offered the job, which I accepted! Then the manager told me the dress code, how long my background check should take, and when orientation would be. Both managers were extremely nice, not just to me but the other employees as well. I look forward to working here!
