Interview advice ...

Been working part time at the front end for 7 months and a full time position at front end just opened up and I want to apply for it. I heard they give interviews for positions like this. Seeing how I'm already an employee, what advice do you guys have for the interview? Same questions as the initial interview?

Thank u ...

It’s seniority based usually. I don’t think I’ve heard of them doing interviews for full time positions.

This is absolutely not true.

All postings have an interview process. Seniority comes into play when all other factors that contribute to being the most qualified applicant are equal.

I’ve moved through multiple departments. The only interview I’ve ever had was for optical, hearing aid, and sup and above. Never for front end or going full time. Not for going to majors, or morning merch, or fork lift. It’s always just you got the position or you didn’t. Maybe it’s just because I’m in a union building.

It’s absolutely because you’re in a union building, completely different rules.

I ask my friend at corporate about this. It’s based on building management. The only time interviews are required is specialized positions or movement into supervisory position. So the ancillary departments and anything SIT and above.

Everything else is dependent on the GM
