Behavioral Technical
I had three interviews, one phone call and two in-person. The phone interview was brief and focused on my availability. Then, I was invited for an in-person interview. Although I was nervous, they asked about 10 questions, split between two interviewers. The interviews were really nice and the questions were good. I felt it was a bit much for just a cashier position, but it went really well. My advice is to be open, take your time to think, and really draw on your previous experiences. They offered me the job on the spot.
