I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at HomeSense (Hamilton, ON) in Jul 2019
Interview
initial phone interview which was about 5-10 mins and just talked more about availability and an initial screen of the candidate, which was then made into an in-person interview with a manager.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you bent the rules to help a customer?
Shortly after handing in my CV I got called to come in for an interview, took approximately 45 minutes. Included a multiple-choice retail aptitude test which was relatively easy, more common sense than anything. Interview was friendly and laid back.

When did you show your initiative?
When did you go above and beyond for a customer?
Informal and very reflexed - felt really at ease and got a phone call near enough the next day.
Had a couple of opening sessions going over the framework of the company as well as going over training and paperwork.
