It was okay. The manager was nice. They asked typical interview questions like what's your desired salary, what's your experience, and what training you've had. I'd say for this interview, just use your resume as your guide.

I sent in my application and heard back pretty quickly to set up a phone chat. The person in charge of interviewing me was about 20 minutes late and didn't even say sorry. She just mumbled the whole time, and I had to keep asking her to repeat stuff. It felt like she was just reading off a list and not really paying attention to my answers or my resume, otherwise she wouldn't have asked some of the questions she did. She seemed totally surprised by how much I wanted for salary, which was super unprofessional, and then she talked about my experience like I was some kind of baby. I manage a multi-million dollar business right now, and she told me to check back in a few years. Seriously? So rude and unprofessional. This whole thing really ruined my view of a company I used to like.
