      Pet Care Associate Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart in May 2015

      Interview

      After applying to about 10 different Petsmart's (it's really hard to get an interview with them), I got a phone call on the 15th of May telling me I got an interview. I went in within about three days, and interviewed with one manager. I got a second interview, and they offered me a job position. You do have to go take a mandatory pre-employment drug test, and it takes them FOREVER to get you the results. About two weeks. I started my job over a month later-- the 24th of June. It was a long process, but I think it will have definitely been worth the wait!

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Pick any item from the sales floor and sell it to me.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Why do you want to work for Petsmart?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      There were many different "case scenario" questions. 1. Was there a time you went above and beyond for a customer? 2. Have you ever talked a guest into buying an item other than what they were intending to buy? 3. Was there ever a time that you disagreed with a manager/other authority? How did you handle that situation?

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at PetSmart

      Interview

      Pretty standard interview that you can expect from an hourly paying job. You may interview with as many as 2 managers depending on the job, and the interviews length is pretty standard.

      Question 1

      Do you have any pets or have had pets in the past?
