I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Rent-A-Center (Lynwood, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
I walked in as a customer looking to buy a tv and was told by one of the employees they were hiring. i came back in dressed profesionaly and with my resume, the store manager looked over it and asked if i had time for a small interview i agreed and it took about 25min. he basically went over the company history and how they operate and told me i would get a call from another manager to set up a second interview with another store manager. i was called a day later by the second store manger and was sechduled for an interview two days later. At the second interview the manager acted like the company was picky and tried to intimidate me he didnt allow me to talk for the first 20min afterward he asked me questions about my resume and my previous mangement experience. once the interview was over he told me that in three days i would be told if i was hired or not and told me to go to a clinic the company had to take a drug test. Once i completed the drug test i was told i was hired and could start working once the reults of my test came in. This hiring process took a week and a half. However once i started i found out i am not assistant manager i am a sales manager. working there was like working with high school students i had employees trying to ask me out from not only my store but others stores and the manager wouldnt let anyone talk amung each other and he threaten you to finish your work by threatening your position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are only 20 years old what qualifications do you have to offer for the assistant manager position?
I applied online then I scheduled interview 3 days later with store manager and was hired on the spot. It was a pretty standard interview and there was no drug test
A quick interview that will most likely land you a job as long as your professional and honest about all the questions asked. It wasn’t a difficult interview, make sure to show up fifteen minutes before your scheduled interview!
Laid back and focused on you as a person rather than what you can do. It was measured as your values and real life hobbies and world and how that can apply to the job.
