Giant Eagle Utility Clerk: Ooh, my favorite part is that you’re able to move a lot, because you’re walking and pushing the cart and grabbing stuff. And so you basically are always doing something. In my previous job, which was a library, I didn’t like that sitting down and not being able to do whatever I like. I don’t know, it just wasn’t for me.
Interviewer: Please describe the application and interview process.
Giant Eagle Utility Clerk: So the application process, it was pretty simple. It started with your previous employers. Could you contact them? Just real simple application, and then you said…
Interviewer: The interview process too.
Giant Eagle Utility Clerk: The interview process. She asked me, my manager asked me, a lot of questions about my previous job and potential things that could have happened and how I could work through it, and how that would apply with, I guess, this job too. So she asked me, one question was, let me think. She said explain a time where you were frustrated and you didn’t know what to do, what did you do at the workplace to resolve the issue? And I basically said that I sat down and thought about the situation, and just went through it, I wrote down what to do, and I also had a to do list for my old job, because there was a lot of stuff you had to do just in general, and yeah, I made it to do list for this job too because there’s a lot of duties on it for it.
Interviewer: What questions did the interviewer ask during the job interview?
Giant Eagle Utility Clerk: She asked a really good one. I didn’t even consider. It was, let’s say you had an angry customer, how would you deal with the situation? And I basically just said that I would, not tell them to stop what they’re doing, but to try to cooperate with me and help me through the situation the best way I could. And how I could also help them with the situation the best I could. And yeah.
Interviewer: How were you notified that you received the job?
Giant Eagle Utility Clerk: When they decided to contact me, it was a week later. I accidentally missed the call because I thought it was different, like the numbers come up and you don’t know what the number is. So I had basically been answering all the calls, and I don’t know when they called me, but I missed it. So I called them about three days later and they said they called me, and I was surprised because I thought I was on top of it. I guess I missed it.
Interviewer: What set you apart from other candidates?
Giant Eagle Utility Clerk: For sure that I was well-dressed. I spoke clearly, and I was able to answer all the questions without hesitation. So I think, because I did a lot of studying before the interview process, and I was aware of the questions they were going to ask because I looked on this one website where it basically listed like a whole lot of questions, and just be ready for all of them. So I was ready for it. I do what I had to do.
