Interview
As others have stated, I actually applied and thought I was interviewing for a key leader position- but then was told in the group interview that they hire educators first and then move inside employees up the ladder.
The first interview was a group of about 8 candidates, one assistant manager and one key leader. It was at 8am and we sat in a common area inside the mall. It was a great experience as I felt more like the group was just getting to know each other more so than being interviewed. I feel in a group this size, you have to be yourself but also strive to speak up and stand out in a good way. Be confident with what you say.
The second interview was 2 days later and was myself, another candidate, the other assistant manager, and another key leader. We met for coffee to chat before a yoga session. It was very laid back and I enjoyed getting to know everyone including the other candidate.
The last interview was 5 days after the initial group interview and was a one on one with the store manager. It went pretty quickly. We met at a coffee shop and chatted. I was told I would hear something by the end of the day.
I didn't hear anything at the end of the day and began to stress a little. Turns out my background check took longer than expected. I was offered a part time position about a week after the initial group interview.
