      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Big 5 Sporting Goods (Colorado Springs, CO) in May 2016

      Interview

      They call you in like they need you, because they have undoubtedly just fired someone. They dont really care what you have to say, they will hire you because they need a warm body to blame for the fault of their store. I know because I eventually ended up hiring people in the same fashion.. Hourly employees dont get hours, and Managers DO ALL THE WORK.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Sports, all sports.. They dont ask you questions that pertain to the job.

      Application

      I interviewed at Big 5 Sporting Goods

      Interview

      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.

      Question 1

      When can you start and do you have a high school diploma.
