Behavioral Other
I met the Store Manager at a retail networking event. She reached out about an open position, and we had a chat where I learned a lot about the company. It was casual, no standard behavioral questions. Then I interviewed with the district manager. This was a bit more formal but still friendly and not intimidating. Next, I visited the store to meet current employees and see the place. The SM seemed ready to hire me. All this happened in about a week. After the in-store interview, the SM mentioned she and the DM had to finish other interviews. About a week later, the SM called to say they hired someone else. That person had more visual merchandising experience, which is fair.

The communication was poor. I talked to the TA and they said I'd hear back by the end of the week. I didn't hear back, so I followed up the next week. They told me they had decided to go in another direction but wouldn't give me any feedback on why.
