      Sales Associate Interview

      Sep 21, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Hershey, PA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Staples (Hershey, PA) in Sep 2017

      Interview

      I showed up early but had to wait until my schedule time anyway. We went into a really big empty conference room. Interviewer was quiet and maybe a little shy which made my quiet/shy side come out too. The entire interview is what I wrote below in the questions section. When I left I honestly thought it could go either way. When he asked me to tell him about myself I mentioned that I had built my own computer, so later when they called me back they asked if I would be interested in the Technology Sales position instead, which pays $0.30 more per hour.
