I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dollar General (Cleveland, OH)
Interview
I went into the dollar general thinking this was going to be one heck of an interview. I had no self confidence, the manager saw that and decided to play on my humorous side, She called me by my name but put miss in front of it and I saw that she was not so scary. So we went into the back room and she began to talk to me, explained the company to me and asked me a few questions then moved me onto the next process; after the drug test, on the 12th I was hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you do these three things, come to work, work while you're here and respect others.
You take a questionnaire basically asking what would you do or wouldn't do in a certain situation. Which lets them get a feel for your personality and see what type of persons you are. There also a test to see how well you count money. It gives you money situations like you would receive working as a cashier.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dollar General (Livingston, TN) in Aug 2011
Interview
The hiring process was simple. Hand in application and wait for phone call. Generally takes about 3-5 days. The interview was the following day. They ask the basic questions, why you want to work there and what you can bring for the company.
