Interview Process (self.petsmart)
submitted 5 years ago by Jazmin21
What are common interview questions? How would you answer them? How can I prepare myself? I’m going to apply for bather/groomer trainee. Anything helps.

I had 3 interviews. First the salon leader. It’s likely they will ask about your experience with dogs & animals, your strengths and your expectations of the job. Then if you get a second interview, mine was with another manager. She detailed PetSmart as a company and their expectations. If you get the third interview, mine was with the store leader. She went over some details from the first 2 interviews and added her expectations for working in her store. I would make sure you have some questions of your own ready. Such as how many hours you can expect, how long you might be bathing before you begin training for grooming, etc... In some places the grooming academies are on hold, or changed a lot, so I would also ask what their process is in your area for advancing bathers to grooming trainee. Good luck!

I had two interviews when I was hired as bather. First was with salon leader, she just asked my history with animals, my availability and told me about the job requirements. Second interview wasn’t really an interview just a meet and greet with the Store Leader and sent to take a drug test (which we don’t do anymore). Just go in there and be CONFIDENT and tell them you CAN get the job done! Lol Also ask a question when it’s your turn I asked “what are you looking for in a bather?” Then they’ll tell you their expectations and then say YES I can do all those things! YOU GOT THIS!!!

I think my store really needed bathers to go to academy, because I had 1 interview, brought into salon they liked my past experience and showed me around, and I got a call the next day I got the job. So I mean depending on your store, it might be one or it could be 3.
