I interviewed at a walk-in event, about an hour after it started. The manager was ready to interview me. We reviewed my application and they asked follow-up questions about my past work experience. We also discussed my schedule availability, which seemed to be their main concern. They need someone available on weekends and nights, and also some weekdays.
