Job Summary & Tips for Applying
Quick Summary & What to Highlight: The Assistant Store Manager role at Dollarama in Windsor is a full-time position paying $19.30–$20.30, covering store operations, compliance and staff management. A candidate whose resume clearly shows retail industry experience (at least two years) and team management experience will stand out, since both are listed as preferred qualifications tied directly to the day-to-day duties of running a store and leading its team.
Resume & Application Tips: Lead with your retail management experience and be specific about the size of the team you supervised and the operational tasks you owned. The posting asks about experience in store results and overall operations as a separate question from team management, so address both on your resume. If you’ve conducted inventory counts, handled resupply processes or enforced merchandising standards, name those directly. A line such as “Managed inventory counts and coordinated resupply for a 10,000 sq. ft. retail store” gives a concrete sense of scale.
Interview Preparation: Be ready with a real example of a time you acted as the person in charge when a senior manager was absent, since the Manager on Duty responsibility is central to this role. Prepare to speak about how you’ve handled a compliance or policy issue with a team member, and how you approached onboarding or training a new hire. The posting does not state which specific shifts or days are assigned, so it’s worth asking how the 40–50 hour weekly schedule is typically structured across the week.
