I had a Zoom interview process before 2023. First, I interviewed with the store manager for about 30 minutes. Then, I had a second interview with a store manager from a different location, which was also about 30 minutes. I got the job offer within a week.

I talked to four different people before I got the offer. It started with a phone call and then moved to in-person meetings. It took about two months to get the first interview. They were really open about everything during the process.

First, I got a call from a recruiter and had a phone chat with them. Then, there were two in-person interviews. The first was with the HR manager, which was super chill and positive. The second one was with two regional managers, and it was way more intense. The first interviewer seemed to like me, but the second one was really hard to read and asked a lot more in-depth questions about my KPIs and wanted specific examples of my work, like a successful story of training a staff member.
