I applied about two weeks ago and then got an email about setting up a phone interview. I had the phone interview the next day and the person mostly asked me about my past experience, especially since I don't have any official management experience yet. After that, they scheduled a time for me to meet with the District Manager and I interviewed with her in person. Just be yourself and be professional, and you should be good.

First you interview with the store manager. Then you have an interview with the district or regional manager. After that, there's a hiring paperwork session. You need to bring a resume, some reliable references and be dressed nicely. Once you're hired, we do a background check, and you'll need to give us your passport or birth certificate, drivers license, and be able to do direct deposit.

Behavioral

I went through three interviews for this role. First, I spoke with the district manager. Then, I interviewed with the regional manager. Finally, I met with the VP of sales. The interviewers might have left the company since then, some voluntarily, some not. Because I have a lot of experience, the questions weren't too difficult for me.
