Difficult Interview

Overall Positive Experience

Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed May 2010 (took 1 week)

This was an internal promotion interview. The position was available for a lead role. I was made aware by my store director. Internally there was some prepping that was done. My store director wanted to make sure I was set up for success. She told me specifics on what types of things that may be asked in my interview and even walked through some questions with me. Had to phone interview with DM and SD from the location. Very business driven questions on how to grow, specific challenges I would encounter, etc.

Interview Questions

Tell me how your peers would receive you as a leader?

Answer Question

Tell me about a time when you had to use managerial courage?

Answer Question

Negotiation Details

I was able to negotiate for what I needed. It was challenging but as a leader I feel that you have more ground to stand on with factual PROOF that you are worth it( past achievements, sales) For advice on someone that is considering an offer? You are already one step ahead if you have discovered this site. Do your research and find out what the industry pays.

Other Details

The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Overall Positive Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 days)

Applied online for a new store opening. Met at Starbucks for the initial, and second interview - both with Store Directors. Both interviews were very general - no "form" questions and thankfully, no "tell me about a time..." questions. I felt good after both interviews, but unfortunately no offer.
