Initial conversation with RH recruiter led to in-person interview at existing RH store. Interviewer was 40 minutes late to meeting with no notice. Meeting seemed extremely rushed and an inconvenience to both area leaders conducting interview. Interviewers were unpleasant in demeanor and seemed to have little experience conducting interviews. Both were unsure of what management duties and expectations were and were unable to describe what compromises the daily work experience.

The first interview was terrific. I had been referred by a former executive with the company, so I felt like I had a bit of a leg up going in the door. The second interview was a phone interview with a manager from another state which also went very, very well and was extremely professional. They seemed very pleased with my level of experience and my overall passion for the job. I felt very confident going forward. The third interview was very odd. The third interview was with the same manager from the first interview, plus another senior manager. The senior manager led the interview, while the other did not speak for nearly the entire 2 hours. We did not address anything professional or work-related for at least the first hour. It was said at the beginning that we would not be talking about my skills or qualifications and she put my resume out of her site, and she then proceeded to ask me an hours worth of personal questions about where I grew up, what my hobbies were, what music I listened to, etc. Some of the questions were exceedingly personal, so much so that it gave me discomfort as to whether or not to answer them. Prior to the 2nd interview, I felt like I was a shoe-in for the job. After the 2nd interview I had felt very confident, but after the 3rd I was not sure. I never heard from them again after that.
