The interview itself was very out of the blue. I found out about the interview the day before from the DM and my current SM, so it was a little quick, and I hadn't submitted an actual application. I'd simply been acting in the role of intimates category manager at my location after the intimates manager had left.

She catered the questions specifically to what the store was looking for rather than the generic questions that are in the interview book.
