First, there was a 30-minute phone screen with the HR manager for the area. After that, they might send my resume to the specific branch the job was posted for. The phone interview involved going over my resume, and I was asked to discuss my previous roles, which was just repeating the same info that was already on there.

The managers interviewing for this role were super professional and nice, and they did a good job explaining the job and what they were looking for. The interview got cut short though because they decided I wasn't a fit. I think the recruiters messed up by bringing in someone who wasn't a good match, but I still wish the management had finished the interview with me since I had prepared and spent time learning about the company and the role, and even rearranged my schedule.

I sent my cover letter and resume online. Within a week, I got a call back and did the first interview. It was with the office manager and the branch assistant. I had a second interview the same week. This one was with the branch director and branch assistant. After the second interview, I had to wait another two weeks before they let me know I got the job.
