The interview process involved a bit of a wait before the actual interview. Most of the questions focused on past experiences and required storytelling, particularly around conflict resolution and problem-solving. If you prepare some answers ahead of time, it should be pretty straightforward to do well. Even though I'm not the best at interviews, I prepared a lot and got the job!

The interview experience was okay. The interviewer talked too much and asked too many personal questions. They were very unprofessional and sexist towards the women present. The interviewer disrespected only the two women during the interview.

The hiring manager started by asking me to introduce myself. Then, he outlined the interview structure before asking about my knowledge of Harkins Theatres. Following that, he requested details about my prior role, specifically regarding cash handling and inventory experience. He also asked for my definitions of 'professionalism' and 'integrity'. Subsequently, he discussed the job responsibilities, the promotion system, and employee benefits. After I asked a few questions, the interview concluded after about an hour. The interviewer was very professional. We then arranged a phone interview with the district manager.
