Initial communication:
-Walked into a very busy setting where I had to initiate the conversation in order to get an application

-Manager was unavailable at the moment to come out
-I turned in my application to a lady saying, "thank you for applying, I will give this to my manager & good luck"
Planning of interview:

-Phone interview conducted, then asked to come in for a 1-1 interview
-1-1 interview conducted, basic questions, a lot of questions focused on ability to get along w/ coworkers
-Ended with signing of papers.
Number and Type of interviews:

Advice for potential candidates:
Be yourself, relax, and just make sure you like dealing with having a lot of responsibility because most
times than not, you will be the only cashier. (& that's how you want it, cause it shows you are ready
to advance) You can be considered for advancement, even if you have no previous experience. BE ON TIME for work, for interview, even to responding to a missed phone call.
My perceptions of people, office, & work culture:
I worked at two different locations and had two different experiences, at one I would say I felt welcomed & a valuable part of the team. & the other I felt unappreciated, walked over, & mistreated due to lack of professionalism from Management.
