I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors in Sep 2014
Interview
I applied online and was contacted within a week. I was contacted by the retail manager and she did a screening over the phone, and then set up an in-person interview. I did my interview at 8:30 in the morning, so I was pretty tired when I got there, plus it was a Saturday. The interview lasted about 15 minutes and I was offered a job on the spot. I didn't have previous work experience, so she tailored the questions to fit my school and volunteer experience. All in all, it wasn't too bad, but I had to decline because of the hours they wanted me to work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time you had to work as a team
Describe a time you worked harder than others
Describe a time you had to meet a deadline
Quick easy general questions nothing too hard just the simple how is your work ethic, your availability, and what position you'd like to start in. They were nice and cooperative
They kept talking about being a family and said that they didn’t want anyone to come in and disrupt their family. I had managerial training but did not want a management position. I told them twice that I just wanted an entry level job and not management. They told me they weren’t interested because they anticipated me wanting to be promoted quickly.
