      Retail Sales Specialist-Overland Park, KS Interview

      Nov 19, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Overland Park, KS
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at REI (Overland Park, KS) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      Applied online. Recieved a call for a group interview with 2 days notice. Was unable to make interview due to being out of town but was told I would be able to interview as soon as I came back to town. Called to schedule interview as soon as I returned, 4 days later. Unable to contact hiring manager. Continued to attempt to contact manager by phone once a week for 5 weeks and finally recieved a call after asking a friend who works there to have manager call me. Interviewed in person a week and a half later with hiring manager and store manager. When hiring manager brought me into interview room, store manager was on the phone. Once she was off the phone, the hiring manager asked her to join us. Store manager was caught off-guard and said that she was unaware of an interview today. Interview took about an hour. Thought it went well. Heard nothing for 2 1/2 weeks so I called store. Managers do not have voicemail so sales associate took note (again) saying manager was not present. Received a generic rejection letter through email about 5 minutes after hanging up the phone.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Senario: You are working with a customer when an impatient/demanding customer tries to but in. How do you handle the situation?
