It was pretty straightforward. They asked me a few simple questions about my past experience and what I think my strengths and weaknesses are. They also asked about my availability, if I could work holidays, and how I'd deal with unhappy customers.

The store manager asked me some personal questions that are actually illegal to ask. Like, how old are you, what's your relationship status, and if you're expecting any kids. I think they were trying to figure out if I'd be calling out a lot or if I have other priorities over the job.

I had a casual one-on-one chat with the hiring manager that lasted about 20 minutes. Later that day, I got a notification on Workpop for a second interview with the store manager. I did the second interview a few days later and got hired within 24 hours.
