      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      it's an easy interview, don't sweat it. questions are very basic and demands are basic too, the usual stuff like staying drug free, being able to lift a few pounds, etc. but the interview is deceiving. you will be interviewed for a position in sales, or on cash register, but when you get hired will be sent to work 3am shifts or overnight shifts in the warehouse because no one wants those jobs at the rate they pay, so they hire as "sales" then assign you the crap shift and if you don't like it they expect you to just quit and it's on to the next sucker that gets duped. there is a new person every week and someone is gone.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Harbor Freight Tools (Paintsville, KY) in Jan 2024

      Interview

      Pretty straightforward interview process. Typical interview Q & A. A lot of part time talks; I wouldn’t expect too much full time work offered at this location. Overall, the business seemed nice.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Harbor Freight Tools

      Interview

      Called me in for an interview after applying online. After Jennie at the Tacoma, Wa location chatted with me for a couple minutes she offered me the job. The frustrating part was that I had to call the store for two weeks before finally getting ahold of her to get my new employee intake completed and me put on the schedule. The training was a joke but I did great at the register with all my previous cashiering and customer service experience.

      Chatted with me for a few minutes and offered me the job. Shortest interview ever.
