I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sur La Table (Costa Mesa, CA) in Oct 2013
Interview
Easy questions, make sure you look nice and smile lots. quick phone screen, then quick in person interview. No drug test. Background check though, easy and simple. Offer made immediately after in person interview.
Super quick and easy! All management levels in the store location were amazing and allowed you to feel comfortable! Definitely helps if you have some knowledge regarding brands and cooking to help customers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would I be interested in growing within the company?
The interview is mostly about being yourself and seeing if you want to be part of a foodie minded team of part time co-workers. This group is like friends who work together and all have a common hobby. Just go in and be your genuine self, honest about your experience and availableity and see if what they offer matches what you need.
Lengthy and detailed they were trying to see if I was a good fit. I really wanted to work there but it was only to be closing the store because they were liquidating certain store locations in the east coast
