Entretien
I have over several years of retail department store management experience and over four years sales professional experience. I applied for the Store Manager position online because it is a Fortune 100 company and I think they have quality product that would be enjoyable to sell. I have a very clear resume listing my accomplishments as a manager. I received an invitation to phone screen for the Store Manager position. I spent quite some time researching the company to prepare for my phone interview, only to have it end after about 10 minutes. The shortest interview of my life. I was asked, What were your responsibilities at your previous job? Which were described extensively on my resume, but of course I answered the question. And the second and last question was, How do you coach? Which I answered thoroughly and professionally. Then she she stated do you have any questions for me? I was stunned that someone would arrange an interview and end it so quickly. It did not make any sense, except for the fact that when I researched this woman's store were she is the general manager, all I saw were 3 complaints about the lack of professionalism and issues with the management team. She then told me she saw my experience level to be that of one of their full time sales people. Rather than look at my resume and email me that she felt my qualifications, of three years of management experience, would be more suited to a FT sales position and ask if I would be interested in pursuing that, she wasted my time.

Disappointed that after what seemed like promising interviews, one over the phone and one in person, I am not given the courtesy of any feedback. Multiple follow up emails and texts later, still nothing. At least have the decency to say I did not get the job instead of just leaving me hanging.

I was contacted very quickly for an invite to a group interview. There were 6 of us, all good candidates I thought. The interview was very professional, conducted by the General Manager and a store manager. They asked you to watch different segments of a company video, then wanted each candidates input. The only thing that could have been handled better was the GM was very focused on the gal sitting next to me. It was quite obvious he was zeroing in on her - which, I can't fault him, she was cute, young and had good answers. Just wish he wasn't so obvious. Be prepared to work all shifts and all jobs and LOVE doing it. Also you will be working in other stores in the area.

Question 1
Instead of asking "tell me about yourself", they asked "what brought you to the Container Store?" The rest of the questions were pretty general.
