My interview process for a position at Mark's in Burnaby, BC, in 2019 was quite straightforward and efficient. Please keep in mind this is based on my memory from a few years ago, so some details might be an estimation. Application & Invitation: I started by applying for the position via an online application. After submitting my application, I received an email invitation for an in-person interview, which was the next step in the process. The Interview Day: When I went in for the interview, it was a quick experience, lasting about 15 minutes. The person who interviewed me was the store manager for that particular branch. I remember being asked several questions, two of them which I recall: "Tell me about yourself." "Where do you see yourself in five years?" The interview felt like a good way for the manager to get a quick sense of my personality and goals. Next Steps: At the very end of the interview, I was asked to complete a background check, which I took as a positive sign regarding my candidacy. Overall, it was a concise and focused interview process for a retail role.

The interview was detailed and lasted about thirty minutes, The manager was experienced and it felt more like a conversation than an actual interview. Most questions were scenario-based and experience-based. Got a call a week later telling me that I got the job.
