I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at LensCrafters (Corte Madera, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
To start, it was a warm day so the interview was done outside under a shade umbrella (a nice change from the usual business office setting or hastily-set table in a back corner of a stock room). The manager started off with a synopsis of his career trajectory and the job opportunities that can appear at certain points in the training period. Then of course he wanted to hear about my past professional accomplishments. So overall, I'd have to say it was more along the lines of a meet-and-greet than in-depth interview. In all fairness, the manager was dealing with a chaotic flood of customers that day so he may have needed to cut the session short to get back to the store.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell me about a time when you had to "think outside the box" in order to fulfill a customer's need for a solution to a vexing problem of theirs?
Asked me no questions about my prior work experience. Only wanted to know how many hours I was looking to work. They were looking for a body to fill a position.
Very lovely quick in person meeting and tour of the store. Enjoyed getting to see how the store operates. It was great getting a sense of team dynamics and such.
