Behavioral Technical
I applied and about a week later had a phone interview, my first one ever so I was pretty nervous but it went okay. A week after that, I was called back for an in-person interview the very next day. The interviewer emphasized that part of the job involved setting up displays and traveling locally. I mentioned my past experience handling and setting up large displays (up to 100lbs) and traveling nationally, but he seemed to doubt my ability to handle the physical and travel demands, asking about it multiple times and if it intimidated me. I'm not sure if his concern was why I didn't get the job, but he was polite and the initial screener did call to inform me of the decision. There was supposed to be a third interview, but I didn't get that far.

Behavioral Other
I had a phone screen that was great, and then the district manager called me the next day. I waited a week for the interview, which felt really comfortable and went super well. At the end, he asked if I wanted to do a job shadow next week to make sure I'd be happy with the role. Of course, I said yes. Three weeks passed with no contact, so I followed up. I got an email saying they were still interviewing others. Two more weeks passed, and I got a letter saying they decided to keep looking. It was the most awkward thing ever.
