I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bed Bath & Beyond in July 2018
Interview
It was a really nice and easy interview. I had the interview with the head of HR of the region. She connected with me and we began talking about other Bed Bath and Beyond stores. I was asked about myself and if I could manage school and work. There were a lot of situational questions but nothing difficult, they welcome having opinions and collaboration with the management. Afterwards I met the GM of the actual store since he would ultimately decide who was hired. We also bonded and he mentioned wanting to change how the store would look and the type of team he wanted to create. His question was what the HR and I talked about and I told him everything. He looked at my resume and said I was smart and he could see me be a part of the team. Asked if cooking was a hobby of mine (no) and determined soft side would be best. Then went over the general expectations (customer service and communication) and that everyone would be trained for all positions so they're very flexible with schedules since you will know how each department works and can fill in for any hours needed. I was told I would be contacted by the end of the week and ended up being contacted about 6 days later with an offer of $12/hr. I have no prior experience in retail and placed $11/hr (minimum wage) on my app. Orientation will be in two weeks!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you deal with a situation where you disagreed with what a manager (or higher up) said?
It was fairly easy, it felt like catching up with a friend you haven't spoke to in a while. They ask you questions such as availability and why you would be good for the position.
Simple easy process . Literally got called in the same day. Went into the office he asked my availability and ask like 3 questions. Told me the pay which is 11.5 and got hired the same day
Interviewer was friendly and asked questions about me and my skills. Asked me if I had ever worked with a team. She spoke about her experience in the store and talked about the city where she was from
