I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Container Store
Interview
First interview is a Group Interview. They show you a video about The Container Store and then ask a series of questions such as, what is your favorite product and why? They also ask you questions regarding the video and you basically regurgitate information. The key is to show initiative and be positive.
Second interview was very short. Basically asked me what my schedule was, and lasted 5 minutes. I got the job offer right away. After you pass background check and drug test you enter Foundation Training which last 3 weeks. You get trained to work in all the areas of the store, which was a great learning experience.

Question 1
What is your favorite product? What did you like about the video?
The interview is conducted in multiple parts over multiple days; some interviews were in groups (including some activities and game-like interview tactics) and some interviews were individual interviews. I believe you have to be invited to a second interview only if you are selected from the group interview.
