The interview was pretty laid-back. It was mostly just chatting with the owner, and I could ask them anything I wanted. I guess I got lucky because it was a small business, so other places might be more formal.

I had an interview at the local Dairy Queen. I dressed up and arrived early, thinking it was the right thing to do for my first job. But then the hiring manager asked me why I dressed so nicely for a job that wasn't even that well-paying. I was confused, and she was so full of herself that I just walked out.

I had an interview at the store with the store manager. We had an appointment and I filled out an application form before meeting. The meeting was about 15-20 minutes long. I introduced myself, answered their questions, and asked some questions too. There weren't any second interviews. The store manager said they would call me if I got the offer.
