Panel interview with minimum of 4 people all in different level of roles asking open ended questions varying from situational scenarios to character building questions. Open statement time is given and closing statement, approximately 30-45 minute interview process.

I attended a cattle call. The local WF needed a lot of warm bodies going into the holiday season. About 50 candidates attended and met with 10 members of Store Leadership. They randomly interviewed people "speed dating" style. I got the 2 Store Managers. I was the only prospect who showed up in a suit and tie. I was aware of the company vision and mission statement and core values. I was familiar with the store and had high level customer service experience. I was already employed part time at a very high end restaurant. WF offered me an 8.00 per hour full time position on the spot. As the years continued I pursued about 3 different promotions. I prepared for all of them. Talked with people who already had the position. They told me exactly what to say and what issues to address. I was prepared with an action plan and ideas for increasing sales and introducing innovative techniques and work strategies. I always got the promotion.
