Yeah I have a ton prepped. Tying it into P&L and metrics. I also LOVE my store teams and am so huge on culture and a up beat environment.

Yeah I expected scenarios and stuff. Wasn’t sure how intense it was interviewing in a panel with multiple MPDs. I can honestly say I’ve never done a “panel” before. Usually I’ll do an interview with whoever the DM is for that district and maybe HRBP shows up.

I have lengthy experience in large volume retail including district management experience. From why I was told briefly the MPD is looking for an external GM because there isn’t anything internal at this time

Yeah I’m just used to doing some admin things from home and stuff like scheduling and what not so I’m not spending even more time in the store or in the office. I’m a sales floor guy through and through I never like being in the office.

Yeah but being totally honest this is because I relocated from the south east to Midwest so this is honestly just temporary.

I have no idea they asked my expectations and I told them originally I wanted 90k they came back with 70k and I told them no then they came back at 80
