Interview
I applied online. I originally applied for the assistant managers job. I was contacted about nine days later by the store manager that was doing the interviewing in the area. The store manager was a nice guy told me right off the bat that another candidate with 20 years retail experience applied and got the assistant mangers job. He felt bad for me because I just graduated college with a bachelors degree in business and prior experience in retail and offered me the lead sales associates job. He said I should be getting a call from the DM within a week.
