interview for a job at a vapor bar

[djdegen]

i have an interview some time this coming week with a vapor bar here in LA, just wondering what kind of questions (and answers) should i prepare for? they sell all kinds of stuff from batteries to juices, etc

thanks

Ask them if it is OK to vape during the interview and then pull out some monster mod

 

[jazon1]

might want to take a good look at what they sell and brush up on all there equipment names and differences in them,i would assume they would want someone who vapes and is knowledgeable about the equipment they offer to help answer questions customers might have,
they might also act like a customer and ask questions to see how you would answer them,might want to brush up on the laws if any in your state/city about vaping as well.

Good advice Jazon1



I'd still pull out a MOD...

Do you vape? If not you may have trouble understanding your customers needs.

something that may seem minor, make sure on their policy of using equipment they don't sell, they may not want someone using say a Zen, if they don't carry anything rebuildable and so on

 

[eHuman]

Remember, never recomend a product to a customer that the store does not carry (at least not during the interview )

 

[Baditude]

A good knowledge base of juice carrying devices (atomizers, cartos, clearos, tanks, etc).

Some understanding of ohms and resistances of those devices.

Knowledge of the batteries used in PV's: protected vs unprotected, safer chemistry IMR, oHm ratings and what they mean, etc.

New vapors are going to need guidance on equipment and juices. Cigalike stick batteries - eGo size batteries - mods

Hopefully the owner has a good knowlege of vaping and doesn't mind teaching and sharing his knowledge base.

Lots of good advice already. I would add to make sure you have some working knowledge of the products that the shop carries. That doesn't mean to memorize everything, but a little homework always helps.

Best of luck with your interview!

just letting the guy see you looking around the store for awhile trying to learn what they have would probably be enough for him to want to hire you,most places these days are just looking for someone who is not lazy and who actually wants a job.

Go in 30 minutes or more early and take your time looking at everything. Always be polite and ask a few questions. Dont let on that youre there for the interview until it starts.

If you have an attentive owner or manager Id be surprised if you didnt get the job.

Jazon1 gives sage advice for ANY interview with ANY potential employer. Knowing what the company does, their products, and brushing up on specific technical information is ALWAYS a good idea for any interview.

I'd make a trip to that store sometime before your interview, and ask some technical questions about some of the hardware they sell, and ask them to describe some of the flavors of e-liquid they sell. Getting a feel for the level of product knowledge and customer service they already have will give you a baseline from which you can feature your own strengths and knowledge.

Good luck with the interview!

And on that note, I would take several different PV's for the interview so you can choose which one they see you with. If they don't sell (insert what you use) in the store, I wouldn't want to be using it in the interview. Get the job - educate them later if needed.

Or you could jut visit the store before the interview and recon what they sell, and then take the most high-end mode that you already own that is the same as one they carry.

And if you do that, be sure to review the manual, so you know all the technical specs, capabilities, settings and limitations of that mod. Brush up on your tech info--nothing looks worse on an interview than someone who supposedly uses a piece of hardware (or software) but doesn't actually know how it works...
