I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Circle K (Springfield, IL) in May 2015
Interview
My first interview was at a job fair, where I filled out an application and I also had my resume on hand. After I filled out the application I had the interview with a manager which was very short, she basically just looked over everything and didn't ask many questions. She then told me she was going to call the general manager from the Circle K that was closest to me and he'll give me a call to have me come in to take an intelligence test, which if I passed, it would automatically go through to a background check.
I got the call from the general manager the next day and he asked me to come in that same day to take the test. After I took the test I was told I would get a call in about 5 days if everything went well.
I ended up getting a call two days later and he asked me to come in later that day to do a second interview with someone (I think the regional manager). It ended up being a phone interview and she asked me a few questions and approved me for the job.
I had a scheduled interview with circle k and showed up 10 minutes early. I waited for the person at the counter to be free from customers and then let her know I was here for an interview. She looked incredibly confused and called someone on her phone. Then she said that they apologize but can we reschedule. I asked if there was an email or phone number I can reach out to and she just said come in on Monday or Tuesday. Needless to say I did not come back in and decided that this was not worth the hassle.
I applied online. I interviewed at Circle K (Raleigh, NC) in Mar 2026
Interview
Pretty easy, had an interview with the Store Manager. Just waiting for a call back. He mentioned he had interviews but no one in mind yet so still waiting. Interview was smooth and we discussed tasks, trucks and pay as well.
It was quick and straightforward. Asked about abailability and if it aligned with available shifts. We also covered basic job requirements, and main rules of the company. Wasn't stressful and didnt ask uneccesary questions
