      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kmart (Chicago, IL) in July 2014

      Interview

      I was led into a dirty office and asked to wait for the manager to arrive for the interview. After waiting 30 minutes, the manager finally came in to sit down with me. I was asked the absolute minimal amount of questions, and was told up front by the manager that I would be hired. There were no discussions on rate of pay, as I was told every Merchandiser received minimum wage. (2014, $8.25/hr) Basically the only real question I was asked was if I was willing to work evenings and weekends, and if I had any prior felonies. No questions about my actual work ethic or any job-related queries whatsoever.

      Question 1

      Do you have any prior arrests or felonies?
