At the time, I was looking for part time work. I applied as a seasonal associate, hoping that I could get my foot in the door despite my lack of retail experience, and eventually work my way up. I picked up and returned my application on the same day and heard back with an invitation to interview within a week. I was supposed to be part of a group interview, but I was the only applicant to show up. I was interviewed by the store manager and an assistant manager. They asked me how I responded to certain types of customer service situations in my previous jobs. I got a call with an offer a few days later.
