      Sales Associate Interview

      22 May 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pier 1 Imports in May 2012

      Interview

      I had received a generic email from the company stating that their stores were hiring. When I went to the closest to me, they had a "Now Accepting Applications" sign up so I decided to give it a shot. I filled out an application right in the store. It was the typical work experience/school/etc application + it had a couple of pages that were a bit like those online personality tests that job applications have. I guess they decided to make it easier on themselves by printing it out. I attached my own resume to the application and left it with one of the associates. A couple of days later I received a call to come in for a group interview, which was a couple days after that. The group interview went really well. I've grown to love them since you get to hear other people's answers and whatnot. It was set up in a way that the manager would ask a question aloud and whoever wanted to go (there were 5-6 of us) we would go and take turns answering. The environment was relaxed, some of us were visibly nervous, but honestly, it's nothing to worry too much about. I was expecting a call in about two weeks but a couple days after my interview, I got a call and was offered the job!

      I interviewed at Pier 1 Imports (Fort Collins, CO)

      Interview

      It was about 30 minutes long. The manager asked me basic questions about myself and the job. He wanted to know my availability and if I were able to unload the truck due to the boxes being heavy.
