Behavioral Presentation
My interview experience was really unprofessional. In mid-August 2018, I interviewed with the District Manager for a General Manager role in the DC metro area. About 15 minutes into the interview, I found out the position was already filled, which he admitted he'd known for a week. He could have let me know when I confirmed the appointment a week before or even on the day of the interview. I had a really long trip for this - 12 hours round trip driving and I stayed overnight in town. I was pretty mad but kept it together. During the interview, the District Manager wasn't prepared at all; he didn't have my resume and couldn't find it on his computer. I mean, I get that for entry-level stuff, but not for a General Manager position. We ended up using my laptop to go through my resume. The only good thing was that he answered my questions clearly and explained how Gold's Gym usually promotes from within and only looks outside if they can't find anyone internally.

Behavioral Presentation
Since I was already an employee and knew the company, I applied for the General Manager position when it was posted internally. I then met with a panel to discuss how I could be a valuable asset in the role.
