          I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.I interviewed at PetSmart (Nashua, NH) in 01/11/2020

          Interview

          Pretty straight forward. I met with the salon manager and the store manager to discuss the position and what is expected. Schedule, pay, training, benefits and other information was given to me at this time. The only thing I found unprofessional was that when I showed up for the first interview with the store manager, he had called out sick that day. Luckily the salon manager was working, so I spoke with him instead.

          Interview questions [1]

          Question 1

          What hours are you looking for, salary expectations, full or part-time hours, etc.

              a couple of interviews (3), it took a very long time for them to get back to me, very casual and relaxed during the actual interviews, one on one with the store managers

                Interview

                Two phone interviews and an in person interview. Also a drug test. It took some time for them to get back with me, so I would suggest following up roughly one week after submitting an application online. No in-person applications with a huge company like petsmart.

                Interview questions [1]

                Question 1

                How do you feel about working in a fast-paced environment? What if it is loud or dirty?

                  Interview

                  Ask you questions about being part of a team and why you chose to apply for this company, etc. When I worked there they said they were going to start having people who apply act like they worked in the store to try and sell to a customer and see how they do.

                    I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days.I interviewed at PetSmart

                    Interview

                    I was referred by a friend who worked there. I submitted an online application and was called the next day for an interview. I went in later that day for an interview with the store manager and was asked alot of basic interview questions and scenarios and was also asked to sell him a product. This interview lasted about 45 minutes. Once I was done I was asked to wait for 30 minutes to interview with the store assistant manager. I walked around the store to get familiar with some products. I was called to come back to do my 2nd interview. The questions were the same exact ones I was asked earlier in my 1st. So I just repeated my answers. This interview lasted about only 10 mins. They both then asked me to come back in 2 days to interview with the lead groomer to see if she liked me. So I adreed. Came back 2 days later and the questions were the same questions again. Repeated my answers and she just said "Okay great, thanks for coming in". This interview was about 10 minutes.

                      Hi all, I applied for a job at abrdn plc, I've had my first interview and it went well. They have invited me for a second interview for which is a technical assessment. The assessment will be sent to me during the interview and it will last 60min. If anyone on here has had something similar, what kind of assessment would it be? Is it like creating macros or something of that sort? Thanks
