Interview
Interview Process went as normal, First interview was with Assist store Manager. He asked behavior type questions to see if I was a good fit. Questions such as"If your helping a customer and another customer comes up and ask you a question, there are no other sales associates around, what would u do". After 6 of those types of questions I was brought in to interview with the store manager. He also asked some of the same types and went over my resume.
