applied for local positions through plaza's website- was called within a few days by a local store which happened to be hiring- the manager already had my CV and Resume and we agreed to meet the next day- when I showed up for interview, I was immediately given a 2 page paper questionnaire with questions ranging from simple questions about my past and interests, to more esoteric questions about how I felt about workplace conflict resolution. after finishing paper questionnaire I went into the back office and was interviewed by the manager and assistant manager- this interview was more informal and more about my education and past work experience. interview process took a little over an hour

I had a positive experience! It was a very personable, easy conversation with two managers. I had a second followup interview with the general manager within the next week. Interviews are always a bit stressful for me, personally, but I felt more comfortable in that setting than I had felt in former interviews.
