Behavioral Technical Presentation

I got a call from an out-of-town HR person to set up an interview at my location. I arrived early but had to wait a while for the interviewer. I got a tour and saw the job duties in the front and back. I was asked to pick two roles I was interested in, and I chose two backroom duties, which she didn't seem to like. She then asked if I had customer experience, which I don't. I was asked some basic interview questions and felt I answered most of them well, though some responses were met with silence. At the end, I was told a decision would be made next week after they interviewed a few more people. I never heard back, and it's been two months. Based on who gets hired, it might not have been an ideal place to work due to its condition and some employee behavior.

They called me in, took me to a room in the back, and asked me basic scenario questions. I was asked what I knew about Goodwill's affiliations and programs (I had researched beforehand) and about my flexibility and skills. I brought in a resume, which looked good. Getting a job there was great because they offer extra classes and relocation.
