Colloquio
Quick phone interview with HR and asked me to come in for two in person interviews with store managers. Depending on the position you are applying but overall customer service is important value to the company. Overall professional, but your experience might vary depending on the manager you are talking to. One of them asked me if I was born here which I thought little inappropriate and random. (I am a second generation immigrant and perfectly fluent bilingual). He also asked me if I drove which I didn't understand why because the job I am applying has nothing to do with driving or having access to cars. It seemed like he was leaning towards personal preference and convenience rather than actual experience or corporate guidelines. At the end of the interview he said he thought I am underqualified for the job which I understand is his decision, but asked me if I would be interested in cashier position. Being a working professional with 5 years of sales experience, I respectfully declined the offer as it would be a huge step down for me in terms of my career and finance.

Met with HR manager and interview was pretty simple. Just went over experience and customer service questions. They usually want someone with experience for the job but it’s a good place to start as well if you’re looking to get into the industry. Training videos are provided but they are customer service heavy.

It was great and satisfying but the didn’t ask any questions about my technical skills. I thought that this could be the pivot point in the interview. I think this position requires more sales skills than creative skills.
