Austin, TXPosted Aug 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After an initial screening process, I went through two separate interviews: the first with the store manager and then the second with the district manager.

Once I finished those conversations, the next step was a background check.

What I noticed right away was that the company seemed to interview more than one person, so I didn’t feel like I was guaranteed just because I made it through the first round. The process itself had a clear sequence—manager, then district manager, then background screening—and it moved like a typical multi-candidate selection. I did end up getting an offer, but I still kept a realistic mindset throughout because the process felt selective rather than automatic.
