Had a Zoom call with the recruiter. They wanted to know why I'm interested in the company, my experience, and my availability. They stressed that they prefer people who plan to stay long-term, ideally at least 6 months, because they're looking for employees who will commit.

First, I had a chat with the recruiter, and then I interviewed with the store manager. It wasn't too intense, mainly focused on hospitality and customer service. The main thing was to show how I'd put customers first and make their day better.

mid, was a little weird that they asked questions like how I would manage 100 people in line, but nice people. I would do It all over again, but I would be more straightforward and stuff.
