Entrevista
Stores usually hire in groups because they train in groups. This usually happens in the fall and spring before the big Anniversary Sale in May. First starts with a phone screen asking why you're applying and what your availability. Don't be fooled - this is usually the start of your interview so treat it as such. I've been a phone screener and was surprised how unenthusiastic some candidates were so I didn't recommend to go on to the next level in the interview. After the phone screen then you're brought in for an in-person interview. You can wear casual-nice attire. Not necessary to wear a suit. No drug test but they do a background check and call referrals.

They want to get a sense if you're a team player and that you have a passion for the outdoors. Being an REI member would be a plus.

Online interview. After viewing question, you get 30 seconds to think and then must record an answer. You get 2-3 min per answer. If not satisfied with your first recorded answer, you have two more chances to re-record, and can then choose which of the three recordings you wish to submit. Five questions total. After this video interview, you may be offered a virtual or in-person interview with real people.

I was asked to record a couple videos where I talked about myself, my strengths and good customer service. Afterwards I got invited to an online interview with 4 other people and 2 interviewers. They mostly asked “tell us about a time” questions.
