I started off as a sales associate, then interviewed with store management and became a bra specialist. After a bit and interviews with our District Manager, I was selected for A.I.M. (associates interested in management). I transferred states a year later. I had a phone interview with that district's manager, and they offered me the category manager position.

So the interview process was pretty structured and took a while. I had 4 separate meetings with the Customer Experience Manager, General Manager, Store Manager, and Regional Manager. Each meeting had a unique set of questions tailored to the role, covering management skills, talent search, and customer experience.
