Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was brief and direct. They asked me in-depth questions about various hypothetical situations and how I would manage them. I met with both the department manager and the store manager. The atmosphere was relaxed, allowing for casual conversation and even some humor with the interviewers. They were helpful in rephrasing questions if I didn't fully understand them, ensuring I could provide a relevant answer. They were transparent about the job's challenges and assured me of their support and guidance if I were to get the position (which I did).

Behavioral Technical Presentation

So I applied for the Customer Service Manager role initially, but they tried to offer me a different position with less pay, which I turned down. They were pretty sure I wouldn't get the salary I wanted, but a week later, I did. Then, about a year after that, I reapplied for the CSM job. I spoke with the Store Manager, and then the district manager about a week later for a second interview. This time, they offered me the Assistant Store Manager role and promised to call, but they never did. I've noticed they don't really promote from within and prefer to hire experienced people from outside. Honestly, their disorganization is a bit much for me.

I talked to the Store Manager about my experience in Management and Project Management. I sent him my resume. A few months later, he contacted me about upcoming changes at Food Lion and asked if I wanted to help make them happen. I agreed.
