I was met at the service desk by the hiring manager and then taken to a seating area. They asked how my day was going and then went into questions about my past work experience and current schooling. They were clear about the pay and emphasized how important it is to keep my availability current. They asked how many hours I'd ideally like to work. They also asked if I would be interested in advancing or cross-training later on. After thanking me for my time, they gave me information about my drug test.
