The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Staples (New York, NY) in Jun 2015
Interview
My interviewer was very nice and was very friendly and made it hard for it to be a stereotypical "awkward interview". SHE started off by going over my resume, asking questions about it, the normal. Then she went over a small questionnaire with me, asking me about different scenarios that could, in theory, happen in the work place. After that, she asked me if I was comfortable with a few procedures, asking about warranties for every purchase, and such, and proceeded to tell me that she was going to run a background check on me (for obvious reasons) which was a good thing. Then, after filling the background check out. About a week after of my interview, I got a call in the morning, and they offered me $9.20 as a starting wage and asked me to come in for orientation the following day!
when i arrived there, the manager was very nice and welcoming and it went very smoothly,i arrived on time and i was early to the interview.He also asked me questions like my availability, my schooling, what made me interested in working with staples and what i hope to achieve in the long run
The interview was very informative and well conducted. The time spent was appropriate and the questions were consistent with my experience at other interviews. The person conducting the interview was professional
