The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Big 5 Sporting Goods (Fresno, CA) in Jun 2011
Interview
The process was very slow. Receiving the job offer was the same day I interviewed, but between that day and my start date took nearly a month. They interview you right on the spot when you walk in. And if the district manager is there he may offer the job to you right on the spot if he likes you. That's what happened for me.
One on one interview with the district manager. I was asked questions about my resume, why I wanted to work at Big 5, and if I was willing to float to other stores to gain experience at each store location.
I applied online. I interviewed at Big 5 Sporting Goods (Las Vegas, NV) in Aug 2022
Interview
It was easy, just need to have experience about sporting goods. You just need to be your self and sell your self to them. They have asked me if I have experience on sports and also selling guns.
They are always in need of a Manager Trainee because their employees always leave and find a better job due to the low pay. So all you have to do is dress well for the interview and just listen and you basically get the job.
