Please describe your job title and primary duties so my role at Party City was kind of like a seasonal employee around the Halloween season they need a lot more help because that's where a lot of people get their costumes and decorations so you know I was a seasonal employee that helped with their Halloween decorations from I would say maybe mid-september to the mid to mid-november what was the work environment like um it was it was really fun work environment with a place called with the place like Party City it's just a it's a great place to work because there's so many interesting things going on you know the requests we got for you know one one costume or the other was just you know trying to help people find the costume they were looking for was something that I found challenging but also really fun how would you describe the application and interview process so I actually got pretty fortunate I was just walking by the store and I saw that they were hiring for the season and I had some extra time I went in I picked up an application it was relatively basic you know basic information and then why you know why you wanted to work at Party City so I a few other questions and then I had a short 15 minute interview and I think that the point of that interview is just just see how I interacted with my manager and you know whether I would be somebody good to have on the floor help helping customers what questions to think of you were asked during the job interview they asked whether I had any other experience like leading people or had a lot of experience interacting with people and I was relatively involved in my high school so I was able to bring up other things that I had done you know whether it was like planning my prom and having to work with like outside vendors and entities or you know advertising to you know students and like interacting with them on a one-on-one basis so I think that was something that they appreciated more than anything I think that's what they were looking for what other advice would you give to a job seeker looking to gain employment I think that the most important thing in terms of getting the job is to expand upon the answers that you're given so I remember somebody one of my friends also applied in his interview ended up being like three minutes long because they asked a question he gives a two-sentence response but you know when they asked what kind of experiences do you have working with different people don't just talk about one thing talk about everything you've done within you know within reason and you know really build upon those experiences and if you can pull answers from one question into another it shows I think a level of cohesion which is which is really admirable and something that a lot of employers like parties
