I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sur La Table (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2013
Interview
In the past Sur La Table would promote almost exclusively internally. Now it had become common practice to hire from outside the company. At this position they are looking for someone who is extremely well versed in retail sales that wants to move up to a Managerial position.

Question 1
What makes you more qualified for this position than other applicants.
I applied online. I interviewed at Sur La Table (Clinton Township, MI) in Sept 2019
Interview
Approximately 30 minutes, I was able to ask questions I had, Holly answered them very well. She explained training process, company expectations, her expectations, and education of products that are sold in the store.
I was almost denied an interview for no reason other than personal bias on behalf of the manager. Luckily an anonymous complaint to HR about the same issue fixed this and I was granted an interview. Though from the second it started (with the manager being over an hour late) I felt that I was not going to get the job despite the fact that the interview itself was successful.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sur La Table (Las Vegas, NV) in Aug 2014
Interview
Since there was no room in the back, we had to find a reasonably quiet corner of the sales floor to talk. Interview questions are standard, and they want REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES when you answer. Saying "that's never happened" either means you have no real experience and may be a bad fit, or you are lying and are a bad fit.
