      Retail Sales Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Grouse River

      Interview

      There are 4 interviews... For a RETAIL POSITION! 1) You will apply online, or drop your resume off in store. Either way, they will likely ask you to e-mail your resume in. 2) If you are contacted, they will conduct a telephone interview, which will be between yourself and one person from HR. 3) Then you will go in and meet with the Director of HR, the HR Assistant/Recruiter, a Manager and possibly a Supervisor. Yep 3 to 4 people for an interview. 4) If you make it through that interview, you will have to go in and do some role playing where you will act out scenarios for the position you are applying for. e.g.: Selling a product. 5) If you jump through the first three hoops without tripping, you may get to meet with the CEO of the company. At this point, he tells you that if you have made it this far, you have a job because he never veto's HR's decision to hire someone. (This isn't true, but it is a well designed tactic to get you thinking right off the bat that he in't a control freak and that he actually lets his staff make some decisions.) If you can afford to go through a 3 week interview process, you can get a job earning slightly more than minimum wage, woo hoo! Go you! If you go in to one of the career fairs, expect to have #'s 1 and 2 happen right away in store. If you miss a career fair, don't fret. With the exorbinately high turn over rate, there will be another one in a month. If you get hired, prepare to get little to no actual practical training. There is a moral boosting, colourful powerpoint though!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There are about 100 pages of questions/statements that you will be asked to answer or explain, for example: Explain a time where you went above and beyond to help a customer; Explain a time where you did not get along with a coworker and how you over came this; Explain a time that you improved a process in a previous job; What are your personal, spiritual, and professional goals? (answer with caution); And then the standard questions: Why Grouse River?; What are your hobbies/interests?; What was (were) the reason(s) for leaving your previous employment? (again answer with caution) You can expect there to be about 2 to 4 people in your interview, including: the HR Director; the HR Assistant/Recruiter; the Manager(s) of the department you are applying for; and Potentially the supervisor of the department you are applying for.
