I had two interviews for this role, and one of them was in person. The interviews were pretty standard, mostly behavioral questions. I liked that one interview was in person so I could see the office and get a feel for how things work there.

I applied online through a Craig's list ad, submitting my resume and answering some questions. A few days later, I got a call asking if I was interested in an interview. I then had an in-person interview with the assistant manager. I feel like I answered their questions well and asked good questions myself.
