Begins with a group interview sitting in a circle where you start to learn a little about the character of the company. Creative answers and outside the box thinking are encouraged.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at The Container Store
Interview
Very easy process. Have some questions prepared to share your enthusiasm. Learn what Elfa is before showing up. Maybe watch the video on Containerstore.com. It's a big part of the business. The people who manage and hire are very extroverted, and very good sales people. Be prepared to appeal to an enthusiastic audience.

Question 1
Be prepared for role playing. It continues during the enormous training process as well.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at The Container Store (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2019
Interview
Applied online. Next day get a phone call to come in for open interviews the next day. Come in and 2 people interview me. After the 2nd, I was told to wait for a phone call. That generally means you did not get the job. Apparently you have to meet with all the managers and get approval from all of them. Seeing as one sent me out, I guess it was a no.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Container Store (New York, NY) in July 2018
Interview
I applied in the beginning of July 2018. Two days later, I received an email for a phone interview. After the phone interview session, I was invited to go to the store and speak with one of the managers. After speaking with the manager, a week later, I found out that I was offered the position and was given a start date based on my schedule at the time.
