I went through 3 interviews. First, an HR call, then I had two in-person interviews. It was pretty straightforward. They asked me questions about my experience and gave me a chance to ask questions too. We also talked about sales targets and goals.

I was applying for a mid level position, and my resume showed I had a lot of experience. Recruiters from the company reached out to me about a Store Manager job, which wasn't even the department I applied for. They asked me to interview, then apologized and asked if we could talk about an assistant store manager role instead, because I didn't have a college degree. They were really out of touch with how recruiting works.

I got a call from the HR hiring manager and we did a 30-minute phone interview. After that, I interviewed with the city manager who makes the final decision on whether you're a good fit for the company. Then they let me know they wanted to hire me, sent over new hire paperwork, and I was given a start date.
