Entrevista
Attended a job fair for when the store was very new. Informal interview process, was given a random item from the floor and asked to sell it to the interviewers (one manager, one full-time employee), I got a pair of socks. Asked basic questions about where my passions in the outdoors lie. Few days later, got a call saying I was hired.

There really wasn't anything that was too unexpected, other than having to sell a random item then and there. They want to make sure your values match those of the company, so learn what REI is all about, and be prepared with what you like to do outdoors.
