Interview
The recruiter was super sweet and helpful. I moved on to the interview with the district manager. This was supposed to be a three interview combo and the questions were pretty straightforward and situational.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was using my phone since it’s all I had. The woman asks me right of the bat, if I was taking the Teams call from my phone and if there was a way I could set it down so she wouldn’t get motion sick. During the tell me about yourself and why you want to work for us stage, I told her the truth and for me it’s my current commute. She has the courage to tell me that I have to be available to be sent to stores all over within a 50 mile radius. After the motion sickness request, her demanding something from me even before I worked for her, and the omission from the recruiter about the potential 50-mile commute, I stopped collecting red flags and told her that this was not for me.
I had the prescreen — they mainly asked basic questions. One of them was about how I usually promote someone and the steps I take during that process. I explained how I evaluate performance, look for leadership traits, give stretch assignments, and provide coaching before recommending a promotion. It felt more like a general screening to understand my leadership style.

Interview
More like a discussion than an interview. Pleasant people who seemed quite genuine and loved their business. They were very communicative during the process, keeping me well informed of where we were in the cycle.
