Behavioral Case Presentation
Had a one on one chat with the hiring manager. They asked me lots of questions about my experience and about the store. Also got asked some 'what would you do if' scenarios. Then I did a trial run on the shop floor, role-playing selling jeans to the store manager. I also shadowed some of the other staff.

Behavioral Group
The first interview was one on one with the store manager, who seemed nice. I was called back for a second interview, which was a group interview with activities led by an assistant manager and a merchandising manager, who both came off as very snobby. I was offered the position, but after that experience, I felt like it wouldn’t be the right fit.
