It was a pretty standard interview process, with general questions. Because it was for a temp role, it was likely more relaxed than for a full-time job. I was interviewed by one of the managers, and they made me feel at ease.

It started with a phone call, then there was a task done in person with a group, and finally interviews with the senior managers. The whole process went smoothly, which is a shame because the company had to close all its stores.
