The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Micro Center (Columbus, OH) in Aug 2015
Interview
The interviewer appreciated the fact that I was professional throughout the process. Not only in dress, but attendance, and preparation. Fortunately the interviewer was excited to bring me in for the opportunity.
Easy quick test of knowledge in tech and math to make sure it works the way they should. A couple quick question on why you want to work there and a quick test to see if you can determine real and fake cash.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Micro Center (Dallas, TX)
Interview
Phone Interview/ In Person Interview/Aptitude Test
Seemed to go okay but there were delays in responses. I noticed there were more men employed there than women- my resume might have been not the best it could to showcase my history in retail/management/csr/merchandising.
It seemed to go smoothly for a short while, and the 2nd manager offered me a role and i accepted- then after i took my test i was ghosted with no response.
I figured then I was rejected, could have been the test, not sure- I was running an errand that day, and i went in store to check and the manager who initially offered me a role seemed *uncomfortable* that i was there and I felt a bit unwanted. So that left a weird impression on me- perhaps its because they don't have a phone, and felt put on the spot?
It was a dampener of my previous shopping experiences there and i felt a bit judged against then with the managers discomfort of my presence.
I am unaware if they found me offensive somehow or if they just didn't want to hire a woman at that time- but being ghosted was a bit unwelcoming.
I'm a customer too-
A normal rejection would have been more polite.
