Store Leader Interview Questions

Do you have a 4 year college degree?

It was unexpected when they ask you how much your bills are and what your spending habits are.

Tell me about a time you had a difficult project to work on and how you worked through it.

None. I would have loved to turn the tables and ask the panel the exact questions they asked me. It would've been amusing to hear their responses. I say amusing because I got the impression that if they were interviewing each other, they most likely wouldn't give themselves the job. Tough crowd.

What do you know about Ollie's ?

I was asked several very personal questions during my in-person interview. I tried to answer without sounding offended, but they were questions clearly posed for no other reason than to determine how my personal life would affect my work. They were questions that could very easily have been used in a discrimination lawsuit against them. They even, albeit in a roundabout way, asked about my sexual orientation.

Tell me about a time when you challenged your boss?

They ask you to rank each store and leader based on your visits to the entire room of leaders.
