I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Circle K (Thomasville, GA)
Interview
As a regular customer of the Circle K, Hwy 84 East outside of Thomasville, GA, I was asked by the General Manager if I would consider completing and application to begin employment with her. I filled out a paper application on the spot for her. Her District Manager asked me if I could run a register, to which I answered yes. She told the General Manager to hire me and I could start that day.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Circle K (Clearwater, FL) in Nov 2012
Interview
The first interview was with local manager, who was extremely friendly and welcoming. He was glad to have someone interviewing. He offered a free mug to take home and poured us some coffee. He explained I had one more interview with 'corporate' and to just show up in dress shoes and a button down shirt.
My next interview was with district manager two days later. We sat down in the back closet and she asked where I lived and if I'd be willing to travel. (Long commutes). She then explained the background story of Circle K and some basic HR stuff. All you have to do to get this job is not show up in flip flops and accept minimum wage.
