I applied online. I interviewed at Savers (Whitby, ON) in Feb 2015
Interview
I applied online by filling out an application and a questionnaire with an opportunity to attach my resume. Two days later I received an offer to come in for an interview later that week with the Hiring Manager. A few days after that, I was contacted by the Head Manager informing me that I passed the first screening and that I can come in for a second interview. The Head Manager called to inform me that she was in the process of contacting my references and that she'll get back to me. Later that week I got a call to set up a training date.
