I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at REI (Tacoma, WA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Group interview with about 20 people, separated into smaller groups to do other tasks, like selling a certain product or coming up with a skip to detail a product. Did one on one interviews as well with different managers and answered a good amount of questions with background, primarily looking to how well you work with others and all.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Selling products, customer service, dealing with unruly customers
Group interviews were friendly and well managed. Staff were kind and understanding. Good and thoughtful interview process. I appreciate the relaxed atmosphere at the store and when speaking with the interviewers.
The interview process was simple and over the phone. Then I went in person. She was very nice, but the store manager was a bit off. Ultimately, it just wasn't a good fit.
Submitted resume online then they wanted me to do a really stupid video interview where I answer questions from a prompt and video record myself giving answers. Just schedule a normal interview you idiots.
