Technical Behavioral
I was contacted for an interview a few weeks after a previous phone interview for a different role. The process began with a basic math skills test. Then, there were three interviews: one with potential direct colleagues, another with HR/Leadership, and a final one with the department director. It was a fairly standard interview, and I was told I'd hear back soon. Five days later, I got an email from the director saying they'd hired someone else. I was bummed, and then a week later, they posted the same job again, plus another buying job.

Behavioral Presentation
It's a pretty fast process. Trainees usually interview with the Store Manager and then the District Manager. They both use the same interview packet, so some questions might be repeated in your second interview. The packet has several sections, each with three questions. The interviewer has to ask at least one question from each section, but they could ask all three if they wanted. Your answers get a score from 1 to 7. Your total score decides if you're a good fit. If you pass both interviews, they might do a background check and then give you a job offer.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Case
First, you gotta send in your application, make sure it's all filled out right and neat. Then, you'll chat with the store manager. After that, it's time to meet the District manager. They'll hit you with a bunch of 'would you be willing to do this?' kinda questions, and yeah, you should say yes to those. The rest of the interview is about seeing if you'll clash with your coworkers, if you'll follow the rules, stick around for a while, and if you can actually sell stuff. Be ready to share stories about how you sorted out disagreements with coworkers, how you reported rule-breakers to your boss, how you rocked it building or leading a team, how you're all about working hard and being a team player, and how you always do what's asked of you.

The interview process was easy. It's a part-time position. I met with the manager and talked about my past experience and why I was interested in working for them. It felt like they were desperate to hire anyone because the company was struggling, and corporate was the main problem.
