I responded to an email solicitation. They called me and chatted very personably with me. We talked about my background and availability and I was able to ask questions. IIRC, They called me back shortly thereafter with an offer. They had paid training.

It was a short interview. They asked if I can work any day during the holiday seasons. The answer had to be yes since that was the purpose of hiring temporary staff.

After filling out an online form, uploading a resume and completing a questionnaire, I was sent an acknowledging email that allowed me to schedule an interview. I did so and a few days later met one on one with the manager of the store. She asked me a few questions, which related to ethics in the workplace and how I would deal with certain situations. The questions were appropriate and were not difficult to answer. Towards the end of the interview it was clear I was considered over qualified for the job I was applying for and was asked if I would consider a more senior supervisory role than the sales position offered. I said yes and that I was very interested in that. I was told I would be contacted the following week. Two days later, on Monday, I received an email indicating I was not suitable for the sales position, which I was already clear on. I am still hopeful I will be contacted by the manager in regards to the supervisory position. I found the interview clear, well presented and friendly, and very professional. There were many others waiting in line to be interviewed when I left. My only complaint is that during the online application, an attempt to collect my Social Security number and birth date was made by a web site data firm located in London England. I was given a no repercussions choice to decline and I did. Still, I'm cautious in providing that information to anyone online, and most firms do not ask for it then and there, but later in the hiring process. From my years in IT I knew to watch where my online screens were redirected during the application process and when I saw the particular screen in question I looked it up and it was overseas. Something worth watching out for.
