      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Petco (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2013

      Interview

      I just had the interview yesterday and they said they'd get back to me in about a week, I just wanted to type this up while it was still fresh in my memory. I applied online a few months ago, never heard anything, applied again two weeks ago, read online that Petco keeps their job postings up year-round, gave up hope, then was contacted for an interview. They called while I was training for another job, and I got so nervous about how long it was taking me to call back that I let more and more time go by before finally calling back. Eventually I did and the person didn't even bring it up, just asked if I was still available for the interview time. I showed up about 10 minutes early, met with the store manager and general manager and had an interview with the two of them, mostly just the store manager spoke the whole time. They were very friendly, mostly just asked questions about my pets and asked a couple work-related questions (they didn't ask me any "what would you do in this situation" questions, which surprised me). I've only worked at one job before, and that was just a one month seasonal position, so I didn't have much to say. I thought it went well, but they had some other interviews to do first before they could tell me if I was hired or not. They said it would probably be about a week before they contacted me to tell me. I wore black dress pants (that I bought from Macy's, to work at Macy's), a plain white long-sleeved shirt (not collared - I think it was a henley-style shirt), and a green knit tunic-type thing to go over it. Just dress nicely, don't worry about it.

      I interviewed at Petco

      Interview

      Straight forward and not difficult. It's just a standard retail interview, no curveballs, no trick questions. Just practice a little beforehand and it'll go smoothly. Make sure to ask questions of your own at the end.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Petco

      Interview

      It was a basic sales job interview. Basically they want to know you are a hard worker and kind to animals. I don't think they really care as long as you are willing to work hard.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      "Do you like animals and do you have pets?"

      I interviewed at Petco

      Interview

      The interview process is very easy. They are not too picky, they just want to make sure that you will work and can comprehend the simple parts of the job. And that you are okay with small animals.

      Question 1

      Are you okay with cleaning up after animals?
