Interview
Contacted the manager. Manager requested a resume. Submitted application. Met in the break room. Discussed criteria for hire for about 15 minutes. Manager asserted that there was a desire to increase sales. Qualified candidate would produce more sales and attract more customers. Manager stated that I was overqualified, but could start in 3 weeks to which I replied that would be unsatisfactory.
It was very formal, I had an interview between the hiring manager and myself. I had my resume and provided examples of my previous job experiences. After that they told me they would call me back and they did, about an hour later.
