I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Staples (Philadelphia, PA) in Feb 2012
Interview
Short interview, and was told I had the job after they asked me about myself. They seemed desperate for people, and if you pass the online exam they seem to hire you almost on the spot. If anything, expect them to mislead you about the job opportunities presented. Talk about your experience with technology, and how you gained the knowledge you have. Selling is important, so explain how you've sold tech in the past if you have. If you haven't, tell them you are able to direct people to the correct products, and help them with their tech.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Staples (New York, NY) in Sep 2018
Interview
The manager was a very nice person. They didn't give me many questions to answer and gave me a run down on the responsibilities of the job and how to do things.
