Initial was a phone interview lasting about 50 minutes performed by the HR Manager. I was asked to complete a personality and IQ skills test. I was told there would be a follow up with 2 people in about 2 weeks with 1 District Manager the other a senior location manager. I was told there were no internal candidates being considered although they had considered one but rejected the person for being unable to manage a location of this size. This second interview consisted of a PowerPoint presentation that was requested for me to complete and present. The topics were covering my background, strengths and weaknesses and my 30-60-90 days plan. There was a series of role play questions after the presentation. The interview lasted a little over an hour. Two weeks later I was called for a third interview to present another PowerPoint in front of the District Manager, HR Manager and two other location personnel. The presentation addressed topics of 3 Conflict Resolution examples, 3 Safety Culture topics and 3 examples of how I was Assertive. Along with extensive questions including more role plays the interview was over after about 2 hours. I received a call from the HR Manager a week later and was told they selected an internal candidate, the one they had previously promoted and demoted twice before into the position they were interviewing me for.
