It was a mess. They kept moving my interview around and setting me up for times that didn't work for me. Then they rescheduled my interview for just a few hours before without confirming if the new time was okay. They asked if I shopped with the brand first. I said no, but was about to explain my knowledge and appreciation for the company, but the recruiter seemed uninterested immediately. I guess if it's that important, they should state it in the application. She only asked three more questions, none of which were behavioral. It felt like they were just scheduling fake interviews. I then asked about the company's future direction for the next year, and she responded rudely, acting surprised I'd ask such a common question. She also mentioned they interview in groups and there were two groups already ahead of me, so I'd have to wait a week to hear back. Yet, they emailed me the next day to say I wasn't moving forward. It's clear it wasn't a good fit for either of us, but maybe they need better recruiters or shouldn't interview people they clearly don't want to hire.

Behavioral Other
I had an initial online interview with the Gorjana Recruiter/HR partner which I felt went really well. We had a good chat, and given my background in retail sales, leadership, multi-unit management, and knowledge of the Newport clientele, I thought I was a strong candidate. After that, I was invited for an in-person interview with another Store Manager and the Area Manager. This meeting also seemed positive, with a lot of agreement and affirmations during my answers. I left feeling optimistic. However, a few days later, I got a standard rejection email from HR saying they'd selected someone else. I was disappointed, but honestly shocked to see the job ad reposted multiple times on LinkedIn and Indeed since then. It keeps popping up in my job suggestions on both platforms. It's quite frustrating!

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was great, with fast responses once I was scheduled. Everyone I met seemed to really love their role, which was inspiring. The company is growing and expanding rapidly, so there were many opportunities to ask questions about. I had 3 interviews: first online, then with a store manager, and finally with an area manager in person.
