I filled out an application at the store and, upon completion, answered a few questions from a shift manager (Full-Time Crew Member). I was told that if I had the time, I would be interviewed by the assistant manager (First Mate) then and there. This interview, which included the First Mate and a Full-Timer, lasted approximately 40 minutes and included questions about my experience, schooling (even though I had graduated from college 20 years earlier) and I was given a number of different scenarios and asked how I would respond to each. About 2 hours later, I received a call inviting me back for a second interview which took place the next day. This was conducted by the general manager (Captain) and the First Mate. This interview lasted about 30 minutes and was similar to the first with some variation in the questions. An hour after the interview I received a call and was offered the job.

I was not hired! It was a new store so it was a very competitive position. I was emailed the day after my application, but denied shortly after the call. I am under the assumption that this location prefers experienced people.
