It was a pretty relaxed interview, mostly about sales and how we'd handle KPI strategies. I spoke with another General Manager who threw some scenario-based questions at me, asking what I'd do in certain situations.

The interview process was a red flag from the start. After applying online, I got an email saying the position was filled and closed. The next day, the District Manager called me to schedule an interview. He seemed confused when I mentioned the email. I prepared thoroughly. We had the phone interview the next day, and I felt like he genuinely wanted to know me. After that, I had an interview with the HR Director. He actually forgot about our scheduled interview three times before we finally connected. The final interview was with another District Manager. This person was very direct and superficial, asking standard questions to check my skills and talents.

I applied online and then called the store manager to set up an interview. The interview itself was pretty straightforward, not too difficult, mostly just to see if I'd fit in with the team. My advice would be to be ready to talk about what you think makes someone successful and to really show your personality throughout the interview.
