The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Staples (Rochester, NY) in Feb 2011
Interview
Applied online in the store (can be done from home on the Staples.com website). Takes about 30-40 minutes. Got a call back the next day, went in for a quick interview with two of the managers. They seemed a little surprised that I was applying for the position (as I worked for the company in high school and have since had a wide array of much more...well, "prestigious" work experiences, but hey, school loans are a killer). We joked quite a bit. They talked about the new sales-driven culture and training requirements, and was immediately given an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if you had a conflict with a customer?
Form application and general interview to assess your motivation. Met with two of 3 managers. Was informed immediately after the interview and introduced to coworkers. Onboarding was quick. Scheduling was simply done.
The interview process was a breeze. Started my job within the first two or three weeks after interviewing. Had to fill out application interview and thats it. Would recommend to anyone looking for easy money
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Staples (Vancouver, BC) in Jan 2023
Interview
The process was a standardized interview with a brief self-introduction about the candidate. Followed by the detailed description of the role by the store's general manager. The key objective was to select a candidate suitable for the role, especially someone who does not panic under pressure.
