Candidate-reported interview process

I interviewed with the assistant store manager in a pretty standard interview, then had a more detailed phone interview with the district manager. The whole thing took about two weeks.

The interview process is pretty simple and direct. They'll have a conversation with you about your previous experience and why you'd be a great fit for the company. It was a pretty easy experience overall.

It's all about making a good first impression because that really sets the tone for everything. Keep your hopes up; nothing is impossible if you just keep working hard and have faith.
