Due to a store structure change, everyone had to reapply for their jobs. Instead of placing me in the new management role I was seeking, they hired someone who had previously quit the company to fill that position. To make matters more complicated, I was then placed in the role the other person wanted, which caused hurt feelings and stress for all involved.

I put my application in on the company website and then got a call from the assistant manager about a week later. When I got to the store, the assistant manager interviewed me first. The store manager then joined in for part of the interview too. A few days later, after my background check came back, I got the job offer.

You'll interview with the store manager, and they'll talk about your availability, experience, and pay. The manager then sends the pay info to HR. HR usually responds with a lower offer. If you accept, there's a background check, and you can usually start working within two weeks.
