      Retail Sales Associate Interview

      Sep 1, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Kingsport, TN
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goodwill (Kingsport, TN) in Aug 2014

      Interview

      I applied in store and the President of the local GW called and asked me to come in and interview with him. He was very nice, easy to talk to, and the questions were very simple. He was mostly concerned with wanting me to know the company mission and what the company's goals were. He was concerned I may not like the long hours and the working any day of the week, including weekends. I was told he had a couple other people to interview and he would be in touch. He called me the very next day to set up an interview with the Store Manager of the location I would be hired for. I met with the store manager at the corporate offices and we did a short, simple interview, then I had to complete a basic math assessment, and then I was hired. I had to return to the corporate offices to complete my e-verification, and then I had to go to the processing center for the rest of the day. This GW required this so that all employees knew the processes of the company and merchandise. I was told to call the Manager that day and she told me to come to work on Saturday.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Do you know Goodwill's mission? Are you able to stand on your feet for long hours at a time? Are you able to complete repetitive tasks without being distracted? Can you lift at least 30 lbs on any given day? Do you have any scheduling restrictions(very important to be available anytime)?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Goodwill

      Interview

      They seat you in their office ask questions like age, previous experience, availability and if you have a direct deposit form. It is very quick and forward. Another thing is uniform size and when you could start
