I applied in-person. I interviewed at Savers (Halifax, NS) in Mar 2010
Interview
The interview process at Value Village is a lengthy one. Each candidate that is considered for a position must go through at least 3 interviews. The first interview is just a simple phone interview asking basic questions about availability, retail/customer service experience, and a potential start date. The next 2 interviews are done at a store and are conducted by a member of the senior store management. Both in-store interviews are not done by the same person; the reason for this is so that there can be 2 different opinions about the potential employee. Sometimes there can be a 4th interview conducted by the District Manager depending on the position. For this interview it is very basic and it just so the DM can sign off on the candidate and make sure they are the right fit.

Question 1
Most of the questions are customer service based and fairly forward. Anybody that has any retail or customer service experience would have no trouble answering the questions. For the management interviews; these questions are more focused around the overall business and the managing of your staff.

Many of the interview questions revolve around specific instances that you 'went above and beyond' or how you dealt with a difficult situation. Though what they mainly focused on was how you hold yourself and others accountable.
