The PetSmart Job Application Process

The PetSmart job application is pretty simple and straightforward. From start to finish, you shouldn't need to spend more than 30 minutes or so on the application process. To start out, you will need to select the position you want to have and the store you're interested in working at. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to apply for multiple positions or multiple locations at the same time -- you will have to fill out an additional application, instead.
Create an Account
With the position and store selected, you will have to create an account on their hiring site. Creating an account is simple, though you will need to provide your name, address, phone number, and social security number. Once your account is created, you will have to answer a series of questions that are designed to familiarize you with the responsibilities of the job. These questions are a great way for you to learn a little about what it's like to work for the company, and what kind of things you might be able to expect on the job. Here are a few example questions: "What type of pet do you have the most experience personally caring for in a work or non-work environment, including tasks such as bathing, feeding, administering medications, maintaining habitats and grooming?" "How comfortable are you with using suggestive selling techniques with customers (e.g., suggesting additional or similar products to customers in order to gain additional sales)? You'll then have to go through a long section that asks you questions about your availability. They'll ask you a lot of questions about the shifts you can work, if you have any vacation plans coming up, if you're willing to work overnight, and how many hours you're available each week. Obviously, they want to hire people who are very flexible, so if you have any flexibility in your schedule you should do your best to show that. At the very end of the application, you will have an opportunity to upload your resume or connect your LinkedIn profile. If you have a resume or a professional profile on LinkedIn, you should definitely take advantage of this opportunity. It's hard to stand out with a job application alone, and these profiles give you an opportunity to show them how you're different from the rest.
Background check
During the application process, you will need to give PetSmart permission to perform a pre-employment background check.
Drug test
PetSmart also reserves the right to administer a pre-employment drug screening. All employment offers are contingent upon passing this test.

How to Get Updates On Your PetSmart Job Application

Unfortunately, PetSmart does not provide automatic updates on job applications. To find out if you're still being considered for the position you've applied to, you will need to contact the hiring manager directly.
