      Sales Associate Interview

      5 Sept 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Alliance, NE
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dollar General (Alliance, NE) in May 2024

      Interview

      The interview process at Dollar General is pretty straightforward. It starts with submitting an application either online or via a PDF form. The online application includes basic information about your work history and requires completing a 111-question assessment that evaluates your personality and core skills. Once the application is submitted, you may need to take specific assessments based on the position you’re applying for. These tests typically focus on decision-making, customer service, and sales skills to see if you’re a good fit for the role. If you pass the assessment, you’ll be invited to an interview with a store or district manager. The interview lasts about 30 minutes, where you’ll answer questions about your qualifications, how you handle stressful situations, your goals, and your approach to customer service. It’s essential to keep in mind Dollar General’s core values of serving others and striving for excellence when answering. If offered the job, you’ll go through a training process, including three days at a store training center and two weeks with a training manager, as well as some computer-based training modules. Overall, the process is relatively quick, and you should hear back about the next steps within a week after your interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why do you think you're qualified for this position at Dollar General? Can you describe a stressful situation you've encountered at work and how you handled it? Why are you leaving your current employer? How would you deal with a difficult customer? What does integrity and dependability mean to you?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Dollar General (Roanoke Rapids, NC)

      Interview

      The interview process was laid back and I felt comfortable to ask the hiring manager questions. I was respected and understood everything the manager was saying. I went into the back and we sat down and she told me about my position. She made it very clear as to what I had to do. She let me ask my questions that I had written before.

      Interview

      I applied online through the website and the managed called me. I scheduled an interview over the phone. I was taken to the office where she asked me some questions (I don't remember them) and I handed her my resume. She basically hired me there, I think.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Dollar General (Gower, MO) in Aug 2025

      Interview

      They told me my responsibilities and I was hired. The only question I was asked is "Do you have any questions?" Most definitely the easiest interview of my life. I got hired for showing up.
