So, when I was going for the executive manager gig at Papa John's, it was quite the process, you know? Started with just sending in my resume, making sure I pointed out all my food industry and management chops. Then, not too long after, I chatted with HR over the phone. We talked about my past, why I wanted this job, and how I've handled managing people and the day-to-day stuff.
