The interview went really well, and the GM loved me. The process took about a week, and I was told that I didn't need a second interview. She offered me an hourly rate, and I accepted. The next step was she was going to set up my training at a different store. After four days of not hearing about my training, I decided to follow up. She took back the offer because I "failed the assessment" I took two weeks ago. I was really upset because I declined other offers for this specific position. What baffles me is how could they have not seen my test scores until after the offer. I've been in retail management for 6 years; I know I'm competent. The sad part is the GM believed in me, and she knew how passionate I am. She said she fought really hard for me. They definitely lost out.

It was a simple phone interview with the DM from a different district. She was really great and straight forward, answered all my questions and got back to me with an offer quickly.
