I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dollar General (Forest City, NC) in May 2012
Interview
I went to apply for a job at Dollar General yesterday thinking that I would fill out an application and then be interviewed. I was told by the mananger that I had to take a test that consisted of 60 questions. I don't understand what these questions had to do with being qualified for the job. I guess my opinions did not match the opinions of the person who wrote the questions. I did not meet the standards. Whatever happened to looking at someones work history and checking references. After checking other reviews and talking with DG employess, maybe it was a good thing that I didn't meet the standards. Minimum wage, working long hours, holidays, and never getting a pat on the back can be depressing. I use to enjoy shopping at DG, but I think now that my store of choice will be Wal-Mart or the Family Dollar Store.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dollar General in Jun 2011
Interview
The company provides you with an email link, which allows you to take the assessment from home. If you pass the assessment the District Manager can you in for a one on one interview. The interview was very informal. We basically just walk around the store and he asked me what I thought about it. After that they sent me to take a drug test. Once the results came back I started work within a week.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dollar General in Feb 2012
Interview
Applied in person. Brought in filled out typed application, met with Store Manager. Interviewed then took a assesment test, passed, was offered a job pending the drug test. Passed, accepted the position
