Walked in and took a seat. He had me answer some interview questions then proceed to ask me more personal questions. He asked me if I had started any training for it since I was a transfer associate moving into a new role.

I was an internal applicant with multiple years of experience with the company. I interviewed for multiple locations with this position open and all three were phone interviews due to the locations not being nearby. One location barely gave me the time of day, called me in the late evening, and seemed confused that I didn't want to do the interview then and there with no warning as if I didn't have anything else going on. That interview lasted just a few minutes and the guy didn't really ask me any "real" interview questions, so I'm guessing they already had someone at the store selected and they called me as a "courtesy." The second location seemed much more interested, there was a great dialogue, and the General Manager gave thoughtful answers to my questions. About 30-40 minute interview. I didn't get that position but he emailed me afterwards explaining why and what I could improve on in interviews going forward. Great experience. The third location also gave me a proper interview with most of the same questions as the second location but he seemed like he was just going through the motions with the questions, but he seemed appreciative of my time at least. Didn't get that position either and didn't get any explanation.
