I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Premium Retail Services (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
You're asked to make a video selling a specific product by reading a script. Pretty straightforward, and if they like your video, you get a call and they go over some other specifics, but it's very much up to the manager, so it wasn't too formal of an interview. I had been recommended by another employee and I knew that I had been spoken up to the boss beforehand. I just had to stay positive.
