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.

Long, but good process. Everyone was receptive and wanted to know what I wanted to do now and down the road. It was very easy communication wise including email & phone calls and they were all receptive and flexible with schedules.
