      Easy interview

      I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at New Balance (Auckland, Auckland) in Jul 2018

      Interview

      Brought in my CV to the front desk after I saw them advertising a job. They took down some more info and said they would call me. They called me and asked to meet for the interview a few days later. I went to the store, one of the employees then walked me to a Cafe just opposite the store and we sat down to talk. General questions, why do you want to work here, what have you done before, strengths, weaknesses, difficulty situations at work, examples of doing good work, etc. They then said that they would get back in touch with me about the result. They never did get back to me.
