I applied online and got an interview set up pretty quick, within a few days. The interview itself was super short, less than 15 minutes, and the person was really nice and easy to chat with. I thought I might get the job, but then I realized it might not be exactly what I applied for. I asked if the position I wanted was open and they said they don't hire straight into it, which was a bummer 'cause it wasted my time. Still, a few days after the interview, I got an offer.

It was a really chill interview. The manager asked me some standard questions about my past jobs. She wanted to know why I'm looking to leave my current role and what I enjoy most about retail. Then she told me about the job she needed to fill.
