      Training Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Staples in Apr 2012

      Interview

      So I never actually interviewed. I submitted an application. A recruiter called me to schedule and interview and left a number to call back. I could barely make out her name. When I called back, I was in voicemail system that told me to enter the last name, but she never left it. I called the operator and she helped me figure out who it was. I then left 3 voicemails to schedule the interview and she never contacted me back. Needless to say, I lost interest and moved on. It left a bad impression on me not only as a candidate, but as a customer.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Staples in Jul 2011

      Interview

      Mixup on the interview time right from the start, despite my email confirmation and followup phone call. The director informed me that he wasn't expecting me for another hour but I could wait and while he took a conference call, was left with the other interviewer for over an hour. So we chatted about the position, she clearly began looking at her watch, when the director walks in and announces that I can start my presentation asap, which I jump up to do when an unexpected third person walks in. Oh wel, I thought, maybe this a test? The director sat stonefaced throughout. I was asked in for a second interview at 6 am to observe the first shift starting their day, I then had a tour etc. That was over one month ago, I have followed up and have not heard a thing. Nothing. Nada.
