Interview Details –
It was very easy to get to a level one interview. I was informed over the phone that the company conducts open interviews on a daily basis from 10:00AM until 2:00PM.
There were several other candidates in the office when I arrived, and we were given a brief tour of the facilities.
My first HR person was extremely personable, friendly, and seemed to really enjoy the company and their position within. I accepted a second interview on the spot. This person seemed only interested in getting me to commit to "the minimum salary I needed to survive", even after I declined as I wished to learn more about the job description, and the responsibilities that went along with it prior to being "locked in" to a salary range.
My personal perception upon leaving was that the company is doing many good things (on site cafe, daycare, overtime) for their employees, but will probably only be offering minimum wage and will be constantly monitoring your every minute of work to ensure productivity.
It's nothing unusual for manufacturing to work this way, and they did state that "overtime is a way of life", so I assume employees would have the opportunity to increase their salary by working it.

Interview Details – I actually had came in to put in an order of contact lenses, and the manager thought I was there applying for a position. As I was leaving I asked her if I could apply. She called me up shortly for an interview, and the next month I had a job. The interview was a basic interview describe yourself. What are your plans in life. I honestly believe it is your personality and how you end up representing yourself to others.
Interview Question – Tell me about yourself. Answer Question

Interview Details – I bought a pair of eyeglasses and as I was waiting to pick them up, I spoke with another customer and her husband who were also waiting to be seen and I sold them each a pair of eyeglasses by recommending styles and colors, etc.The manager asked me if I was looking for a job and at that time I was looking for a better job.She then handed me an application, I filled it out, took a drug test, interviewed again and when the pay was less than I was making at a non-profit, I declined the job. She then, a few days later offered more money and I accepted.The store manager was professional and personable and we had a great rapport. The store was impressive and I was impressed at the number of frames and the selection.I enjoy sales and working with the public. I would recommend that others be as commited in that area....it's not for everybody!
