The phone and physical Interview went by very quickly, and I had a great time speaking with the store manager and district manager. They were open and honest about the store's goal's and production levels. They both talked a lot about the kind of candidate they were looking for and the atmosphere at Bassett, but did not ask me many questions directly. The online assessment was longer and more complicated than anticipated based on what I was told by the Store Manager, but it was not difficult to complete. The assessment included college entry level algebra and English comprehension. Toward the end I also went into the store and completed a Design Challenge, I was given roughly an hour and a half, and I selected a rug, fabrics for a chair, two pillows, and a couch based on a piece of artwork hanging on display. FUN!

The interview process typically begins with an initial phone screen to assess basic qualifications and suitability. If the initial screening is successful, candidates are then invited for an in-person or virtual interview. These interviews often involve a mix of behavioral questions, technical assessments, and role-playing scenarios to evaluate skills and cultural fit. Following the interviews, there's usually a period of waiting for feedback, which can lead to a job offer or rejection.
