Question 1
Describe your time at your last position and what you accomplished.
The Recruiter came across my resume and contacted me. I had not applied for the position. She didn't explain the role well, just that it was a management position. Some of the interview questions were worded strangely.

Question 1
The in-person interviews were strange. One interviewer quizzed me on the layout of the catalog. They were also quite obsessed with glassdoor "I know what it says on glassdoor, but, we're modernizing." Others: Why MRO? How have you improved a process? What do you know about us?
