A two part interview process
1st Round: I was contacted by a recruiter to schedule a 30 minute phone interview. They ask questions regarding my background related to retail and to cover the components of the position that I applied for as a relates to job responsibilities, salary, benefits, and location. Asked “Tell me about your work experience in retail management? and “Why do you want to work for Sam’s Club type questions.”
2nd Round: I was then contacted via email from the same recruiter, wanting to schedule a panel interview for the next steps. The panel interview consisted of three people which was two club managers and a representative from human resources. The interview was set up via teams video and lasted about one hour long. Questions were asked via STAR format. Specific questions regarding h leadership style, ability to lead teams and facilitate projects in a retail environment.
I received a phone call from the recruiter at the corporate offices in Arkansas offering me the job over the phone and sending the job offer via email.
