I applied online through an online application / resume upload. I received an email from a store manager asking me to phone her anytime during the week. We set up an interview for the NEXT DAY! as that was her only availability. It lasted 45 minutes, and she had a piece of paper with her interview questions. She asked at least 10 questions, most of which were situational, i.e. "how have you went above and beyond to help a customer in the past", "how would you deal with an irate customer?", "give an example of a time.." "What would your previous employer say about you, both good and bad?"

Question 1
"If it was the last day before the monthly sales target deadline and you are 2 sales away from achieving both your goal and the stores goal, and a customer walks in wanting 2 lines, you know that the plan is not a good fit for the client, would you still set them up with the plan to meet the sales target or not?"
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mobilicity (Edmonton, AB)
Interview
The interview was very very typical of an entry level sales role. The questions were focused on past sales experience and not a lot on the behavioural side. the Interview was conducted in a group setting where multiple employees were hired on the spot. Overall the interview was fairly easy and did not require a lot of preparation.

Give me an example of when you faced a problem at work and how you overcame it?
