Difficult Interview

Overall Negative Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Folsom, CA (took 2 days)

They asked bizarre questions such as what do you think of garden knomes. And what was my worst vacation and why. They repeatedly said each week they would call me next week for sure and let me know one way or another. When I went in shopping and for the 5th time checked in nwith them I found out from one of the managers they hired someone else weeks ago a relative of the store Captain they never callled me as they had promised week after week. I'll never shop there again.

Easy Interview

Overall Positive Experience

Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Sep 2007 (took a day)

Was given a referral by worker/friend resulting in 1:1 interview with store manager (Captain). Was offered a position immediately following this interview, and started work 2 days later. This is not typical though, most applicants have 2 or 3 rounds of interview so that most if not all of the managers at the store have an opportunity to meet the applicant before agreeing by committee whether to extend an offer.
