Behavioral Technical Presentation
It was a pretty by-the-book process at first, but it ended up taking way longer than I anticipated. I think maybe it was the time of year though, since it was summer and people were taking vacations, which made scheduling tough.

Waited a long time to be interviewed. Came in early but it got accommodated late! There were also exams. Basic maths and english, then another technical exam too. All that and yet you will still need to wait for their feedback days after.

Behavioral Technical
I was met by the then store manager from Oakbrook. He was very professional and easy going. What I liked best is he was very pragmatic and fun. He took me to the back, his energy and enthusiasm for the brand made you excited to be there. He asked very basic questions. Here is the tricky part though, if you show you have experience and are willing to learn, as well as answer with confidence and experience, it easily turns the interview from a basic sales associate interview, into a keyholder interview; that's a 2 dollar jump in pay.

I had a phone interview with a store manager from another location, and then a few days later, I was put in touch with the District Manager. The DM was actually on PTO and there was a new store opening happening. They forgot to call me at the scheduled time because of flight delays. They asked about excellent customer service, what motivates you, and how to motivate part-time associates.

- No questions were out of the ordinary, as I have experience with several retail management interviews.
