I had to submit a resume, and answer some questions online. I then got a call asking me to come in for an interview. At the store before the interview I had to fill out a sheet that had my availability to work on it. Then they took me to a back room where the interviewer asked questions about when and for how long I would be able to work, why I wanted the job, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked a lot of questions about why I put down the availability that I did, which was sometimes kind of hard to answer.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goodwill (Phoenix, AZ) in Jun 2010
Interview
The HR will contact you first for a telephone interview. If you are successful in the first stage, you will be called for a second interview and a third and fourth will follow. Basically, all top management will have to interview to ensure that you fit into the organization.

Interview
I found out about the job online (Indeed) and applied through their website. I received a call about a week later for an interview. I had felt that the interview went well. Found it odd that I was not asked about my work experience, it was only random "tell me a time when..." questions. The interview was conducted by a manager, but not the store manager. The Store Manager would be making the hiring decision, but was on vacation. I was told I should receive a call from them, regardless if I got the job or not, in a week to a week and a half later.
At the two week mark I called the store, inquiring about the status and was told by a manager that they would tell the SM that I called and "if she [the store manager] is interested she'll call". I discovered later that I was sent an automated e-mail dated an hour before I called them that the position had been filled.
I found them to be unprofessional. They could have found a minute to call or let me know when I called that I didn't get the position. I feel like I wasted two weeks waiting on their answer and that if the person hiring had conducted the interview that I would have had a better chance.

Question 1
"Tell me a time when you dealt with a person who personally hated you."
Most questions were slight variations of this. Basically, how do you deal with coworkers who are difficult or don't pull their weight.
