Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was pretty good and felt like a two way chat with the store manager. I felt she was really interested in how my military background would fit the job I was applying for.

I had a chat with my previous employer in person and over the phone, then I got scheduled for training. I went through a walkthrough of my duties for this company and then I was accepted after finishing the task they gave me.

It was a short and brief interview. They asked me simple questions just to see how I interact in a conversation. They also asked me questions to see how I would respond to certain situations that happen out on the sales floor.
