I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Ace Hardware (Oceanside, CA) in Jun 2013
Interview
Walked in completed application to store owner; was in for personal interview about 2 weeks later- interview consisted basically of few specific questions regarding my work in sales and if I had any specific hardware knowledge and the like. 20 minutes duration.
Other Sales Associate interview reviews for Ace Hardware
Pretty easy and direct. Appreciated the flow and conversation with the hiring manager. I learned a lot about the company and what they're looking for. Overall the questions were around why i would want this role, experience, etc
Very fast and easy. Mostly behavior based. Enjoyed both interviewers as they were sociable and very easy to talk to without feeling awkward in any way. Would definitely say one of the best interview experiences I have had.
I applied on their website and then they called me about a week later about the job. Then I scheduled an interview which they were very flexible on. I applied to three different stores and the only one that called me back was the one in the city I live in.
