I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Chintz & Company (Calgary, AB)
Interview
I applied for a general manager position. After submitting my resume I received an email inviting me for an interview for the position the next morning. When asked about my retail background (15 years, owned my own store previously) she said they were only considering people with a background in furniture. This was not posted on the position. The manager clearly hadn't read my resume and apologized for wasting my time. I have hired in previous roles myself and have always made sure that the candidate meets the requirements before asking them to attend an interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Have you worked with high end furniture or drapery before.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chintz & Company (Vancouver, BC) in May 2014
Interview
I arrived at the location 20 minutes early and walked around and made small talk with the staff. Current staff did not seem satisfied or interested in the Company. When I asked one employee about the training program, they laughed and replied that it was swim or sink. Simple interview that was less then 5 minutes. I was offered a job the next day.
