I applied online. I interviewed at DICK'S Sporting Goods (Garden City, NY) in Jan 2014
Interview
They called me in for an interview and it was pretty simple: the department manager read the questions from a paper basically relating to past experiences in work, school, life, etc. If you get through that, there's an online assessment that is based on ethics and morals and asks questions about what would be appropriate or inappropriate to do at work or if it would be acceptable to smoke pot on your break. If you pass that, you get an interview with the assistant manager or store manager which is similar to the first interview. The hiring process for me was very slow, however, as I was offered the job at the end of January and did not have my orientation until early March.

Question 1
What was a challenge you have faced in school or work and how did you overcome it?
Very easy. You go into an office and they ask you basic interview questions. It was laid back and calm. Although that might have just been because of the person interviewing me.
