I applied online. I interviewed at McGuckin Hardware (Boulder, CO) in Feb 2026
Interview
Initial phone interview with the HR person. Normal types of initial interview questions, but when asked what my salary expectations were, I was informed that they were only offering $120k for a CFO role with massive levels of responsibility and wide array of tasks. This level of compensation was never included in the LinkedIn job ad and is far below market value for the role and level of experience they were asking for.
It was a simple interview process. They got back to me quickly. It’s easy for a CU student to apply. There were part time, full time, and seasonal positions available.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at McGuckin Hardware (Boulder, CO) in Oct 2014
Interview
It lasted about 15 minutes. Very simple, mostly explained the job requirements and if I was capable of meeting those expectations. Very informal. Basically just wanted to see if you're capable of holding a conversation.
