Phase one was a 1:1 interview with the store manager, this was to get to know me a little bit and to see how I processed information. I was expected to bring a 30-60-90 day action plan with me, and to have based on the store's performance over the previous 6 months. I was expected to be able to speak to the numbers and explain where I felt there were areas for opportunity. Phase two was a panel interview with 4 store managers sitting across from me. This was less about analysis of information and presentation than it was about understanding me, my motivations and my decision making process. They wanted to be sure that I had reasonably sound judgement and that I could plan effectively. They also paid close attention to my communication style and abilities.
