I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Staples (Long Beach, CA) in Jul 2011
Interview
The process was quick. Got an interview within 5 day of applying. Interview was easy. Interviewer was nice. Although she made it seem like I did a good job I was not offer the job. She said she would put in a good word with other staples but I never heard from her again or other staples.
