| How To Get Hired At Dollar General |
Sharpen Up Your Resume (Kinda)
Let's be honest, folks. Dollar General is looking for reliable, enthusiastic team players. A fancy five-page resume detailing your investment banking experience? Probably not necessary. Focus on the skills that make you a retail rockstar: strong customer service, the ability to lift moderately heavy boxes (think bargain bucket o' kitty litter), and an unwavering sense of humor (because, let's face it, retail can be wild).
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
Ace the Interview (Or at Least Don't Set Off the Fire Alarm)
The Dollar General interview is your chance to shine (like a brand new tube of toothpaste on Aisle 3). Be polite, be positive, and be prepared to answer questions about your love of all things discounted. Bonus points if you can explain the Dewey Decimal System for organizing socks (not required, but it shows initiative!). Pro tip: maybe avoid mentioning your plans for early retirement on a yacht filled with discount pool floats.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.

QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
