PetSmart offers pet services from grooming to boarding and everything in between. Excellent customer service is a vital component of the success of every department. If you have experience in the retail industry, walk the interviewer through your previous jobs and be sure to highlight your favorite and most challenging positions. If you don't have any retail experiences, that's okay! You have likely gained the skills and experience needed to make customers happy through your professional and personal relationships -- and you can let the interviewer know that you are excited to make the transition to retail and learn more about the industry.

"While I haven't yet worked in a retail environment, I'm really excited to get started! I love learning new things, especially when it comes to working with and serving other people -- and their furry friends! I worked at a writing lab in college where I helped younger students correct essays and prepare for English exams. That experience helped me learn how to listen to other people's needs, practice patience, and develop tools to help frustrated students feel more at ease. I think that experience set me up for success in the retail industry."
