Applied online and got a call 3 week later to set up a phone interview the following week. Had the phone interview and was told I should wait for a call for next steps. Two weeks later I was set up for a interview at the distribution center. The interview consisted of a round robin format with myself and 2-3 other managers in the room. I rotated 3 times with different interview teams. Total time was 4 hours. After the interview I was told I should hear from them in a week. Two weeks later I got a phone call and was extended an offer.

Describe a time when you made a big mistake and tell us how you handled it.
She called me about a month and a half after I applied, I had pretty much forgotten about the job by then. We set up a preliminary phone interview. She called 15 after our appointment and asked me basic questions, it seemed like it went alright but I got an email a week later that said they were pursuing other candidates. Total waste of time.

Question 1
How did you hear about this job? She was really intent on asking about how I heard about the distribution center and this position. I had to pretty much convince her I was interested in this job. Why would I apply if I wasn't interested?
