Interview
I applied online and the next day I got an email telling me to call the store to set up an interview. I got an interview set up two days later and talked to two very nice managers. They told me to come back the next day to talk to the GM. When I got there the next day I didn't see the GM at all but I talked to a woman and she told me to come in for orientation a week from that day (they wanted to schedule it sooner but I was going out of town).
