1+ hour phone interview. Quickly moved on to the 2nd interview, face to face with 2 interviewers, one asking questions and the other recording everything you say. Going all the way back to high school. Be prepared to rank all direct reports, and discuss all strengths and opportunities. This interview took 3.5 hours. I am a very successful, top performing recruiter and sales trainer; ranked #1 in the company that I currently work for and public storage seems to only want to converse about the negative and the opportunities. Passed that interview and moved on to a side by side with a current DM, on the job site. Reviewed all metrics and reporting & what the position looks like day in and day out from an accountability piece. Then I interview with a regional Vice President, for about an hour. He referenced all of my answers from the 2nd interview, but only digging in to opportunities and not much about my successes. We also discussed the DISC leadership assessment test that you take earlier on. I'm a strong D and an independent thinker and that's not what they are looking for. Received a call back with a voicemail and then received a rejection email. Overall, it's a strenuous interview process that lead to failure. They set you up, to shut you down. Focusing on the negative and opportunities from earlier on in your career. Not focused on how you have grown from you opportunities to where you are now.

The Interview was quick, but very intentional. He started off with stating what the salary was, and what it came with. He was very upfront and interested in my most previous role

Applied online. Had to do a virtual job tryout. Then recruiter contacted me to set up a time for an initial interview. Recruiter started out strong saying this would be straight to the point and quick. That this job doesnt exist and its a "just in case" role to put you in the pipeline. Told me what the compensation was and its a take it or leave it situation. Theres no negotiation. Recruiter asked if i had experience with direct reports. I told her yes and she asked how many. Then she asked how many i currently have in my current job. I have no direct reports in my current role so she ended the interview even tho i have had upwards of 100 direct reports before. She did not care about my past district manager experience, only current. Received rejection email two days later.
