I met with the District Manager on a Tuesday, and the Regional V.P. on Wednesday. They go through managers pretty quickly. It's hard to take them seriously when they seem so desperate to find candidates.

Behavioral Presentation
Two interviews were needed for this promotion, one with HR and another with the Division President. Upper management wants to see people succeed, so it felt more like a pep talk than an interview. Before that, I was in an acting GM role to see if I could handle and enjoy the new position.
