I contacted a manager and handed him my application, he looked it over to see if I met the basic standards and scheduled a first interview for a few days later. This interview was with a department manager, asking basic questions about previous work experience and my abilities. I was then asked to come in for a second interview a few days later with the store manager. We went through many of the same questions and filled out a background check form. I waited for them to contact me once the results of the background check came through. I got a call a few days later for a third interview. This was with another department manager who asked me a few questions and then offered me the position. I accepted the position and we began the paperwork for employment. Overall, it's a drawn out process, but necessary in order to hire the best people.
