I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rent-A-Center (Portland, OR) in Mar 2009
Interview
First had contact with Rent A Center at a local job fair. I picked them to focus on at the fair based on my belief that it was more recession proof than many retail companies. Talked with the HR rep and a disctrict manager there very informally. District Manager gave me his card and told me to call him to set up an interview. Did so and left him a message. Next day another district manager called me to set up a one-on-one. Had the interview a few days later. Very straight forward. He read many questions from form of sample questions. Very tipical quesitons. He called me the next day and job offered me at a low pay rate. I declined due to pay and he increased his offer.
