It's a 2 step interview process. The first interview is basically to put a face to the resume. They want to get to know you, your interests, and your experience. Most importantly, they want to gauge if you're a good fit for the job and if you can actually do it. The second interview involves the employer detailing the job and the potential for growth within the company. They will also go over the work schedule and the conditions you'll be working under.

Behavioral Presentation

I was interviewed along with another candidate for the same Sales position. He was interviewed first, then me. The first interview was brief and direct. I was asked about my background, sales approach, and how quickly I can learn. The questions came fast, as they wanted to see how well I think on my feet. Later that day, I had a second interview at a store where Smart Circle operates. It was similar to the first, with a different interviewer, and I got a quick look at what the job entails. The staff were all really friendly and energetic. I found out later that the most crucial part of the interview was showing the SEE Factors: smile, eye contact, and enthusiasm. I got a job offer and accepted it.
